David Byrne
Burning Down The House
Watch out;
You might get what you're after
Cool babies;
Strange but not a stranger
I'm-an-or-din-a-ry-guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight;
Wait till the parties over
Hold tight;
We're in for nasty weather
There-has-got-to-be-a-way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag:
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet;
Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown;
Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three-hun-dred-six-ty-five-de-grees
Burning down the house
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

Burning down the house

My house;
Is out of the ordinary
That's right;
Don't want to hurt nobody
Some-things-sure-can-knock-me-off-my-feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the tv set
Fighting fire with fire
