Lyrics
House On Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's always the kids who liked to get real
Dizzy on the playground that got into drugs
It's always the guys who had girlfriends first
Either went into finance or turned into thugs
I need someone like you
Those hollow figures just won't do
And I got to have you need me too
I just want to get along. I just want to get along, like a house on fire
I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. Please just help me find you
All the girls staring up at the sun find out too late the damage is done
All the daughters playing out in the rain
Find out that the grown up games just ain't any fun
If you would be with someone like me
Go back to when we both were free
And get along famously
I just want to get along. I just want to get along, like a house on fire
I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. Please just help me find you
Come on, come on turn me on. Come on, come on turn me on. Nothing would be finer
I just want to get along. I just want to get along, like a house on fire
