Burning down the house
Watch out, you might get what you're after
It was once upon a place sometimes, I listen to myself
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred, sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
Some things, sure can sweep me off my feet
Gonna come in first place

Here's your ticket pack your bags
There has, got to be a way
Close enough but not too far,
Time for jumpin' overboard
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
That's right, don't want to hurt nobody
Fightin' fire with fire, huah
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire, huah
Burning down the house
Yea
I'm an ordinary guy
Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over
Ah
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Get them out
Everything's stuck together
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Transportation isn't here
My house, is out of the ordinary
Gonna burst into flame
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat

Burning down the house
Go ahead
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
Burning down the house
People on their way to work say baby what did you expect
