Lyrics

[Intro: Chris Frantz] Who's got a match? Ha [Verse 1] 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 There has got to be a way Burning down the house [Chorus] Here's your ticket, pack your bag It's time for jumping overboard Transportation is here Close enough but not too far Maybe you know where you are Fighting fire with fire Ah [Verse 3] All wet, here, 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 People on their way to work Say, "Baby, what did you expect?" Gonna burst into flame Go ahead [Instrumental Bridge] Burning down the house [Verse 4] My house, 's out of the ordinary That's right, don't want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house [Chorus] No visible means of support And you have not seen nothing yet Everything's stuck together I don't know what you expect Staring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire Ah [Instrumental Outro] Burning down the house Burning down the house Burning down the house
