Burning Down the House

Lyrics

[Intro] (Who got a match?) [Verse 1] Ooh, watch out You might get what you're after Cool, babies Strange, but not a stranger I'm an ordinary guy Burning down the house [Verse 2] Hold tight Wait 'til the party's over Hold tight We're in for nasty weather And there has got to be a way Burning down the house [Chorus] Well, here's your ticket, pack your bags Time for jumpin' overboard Transportation is here Close enough, but not too far Maybe you know where you are Fightin' fire with fire [Verse 3] Ooh, all wet Hey, you might need a raincoat Shakedown Dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty-five degrees Burning down the house [Chorus] It was once upon a place Sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place And people on their way to work Say, "Baby, what did you expect?" Gonna burst into flames, ah [Interlude] Burning down the house [Verse 4] My house Out of the ordinary That's right Don't wanna hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet, ah Burning down the house [Chorus] No visible means of support And you have not seen nothing yet Everything's stuck together Well, I don't know what you expect Staring into the TV set Fightin' fire with fire, ah [Outro] Ooh Ah, yeah Burning down the house Burning down the house
