  Watch out        you might get what you're after
             
  Cool babies     strange but not a stranger
                           
           I'm an ord-in-ar-y guy
               
Burning down the house



                 
  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

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The 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 baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

(weird music)
               
Burning down the house


             
  My house       S'out of the ordinary
              
  That's might     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 nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
