Burning Down The House
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.
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 'till the party is 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
Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
It was once a place
Sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work
But baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
My house is out 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
Starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
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
