Burning Down the House (2003 Remaster) - Talking Heads

Written by：Chris Frantz/David Byrne/Jerry Harrison/Tina Weymouth

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

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

Here's your ticket pack your bag

Time for jumping overboard

The transportation is here

Close enough but not too far

Maybe you know where you are

Fighting fire with fire

All wet

Here you might need a raincoat

Shakedown

Dreams walking in broad daylight

Three hundred sixtyfive degrees

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

Stout 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

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
