Burning Down the House lyrics

[Verse 1]
Aah!
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 till 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
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire
Aah!
[Verse 3]
All wet
Here, you might need a raincoat
Shake-down
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, aah!

[Synthesizer Solo]
Burning down the house!

[Verse 4]
My house
Is out of the ordinary
That’s right
Don't wanna 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
And I don't know what you expect
Staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire, aah!

[Instrumental Outro]
