The Used - Burning Down The House Lyrics

(Originally by Talking Heads)

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's over)
Hold tight (we're in for nasty weather)
There has got to be a way

Burning down the house

Heres your ticket pack your bags: time for jumping overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you'll know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet (guess you might need a raincoat)
Shakedown (dreams walking in broad daylight)
Three hundred sixty five 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 flames

Burning down the house

My house (South of the ordinary)
That's right (don't want to hurt nobody)
Something sure can knock me off my feet

Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything stuck together
I don't know what you expect stare into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
