Lyrics Burning Down the House (Live) [1999 Digital Remaster] - Talking Heads

Ahhh
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 'til 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 bags
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

Hah
All wet
Hey, you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house

Aaah
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 do you expect?"
Gonna burst into flame
Go on

Burning down the house
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 nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire
Aaah
