Burning down the house

Música y Letras: David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth


Fightin' 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.

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.

All wet.
Hey, you might need a raincoat.
Shakedown.
Dreams walking in broad daylight.
365 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
and baby what do you expect?

Gonna burst into flames.

Fightin' fire with fire.
Fightin' fire with fire.

Burning down the house.

My house.

Is out of the ordinary.

That's right.

Don't wannna hurt nobody.

Some things sure can sweep me off my feet.
Burning down the house.

Watch out!

You might get what you're after.

Cool babies.
Strange but not a stranger.
I'm an ordinary guy.
I'm an ordinary girl.

Burning down the house.
365 degrees.
Burning down the house.

Fightin' fire with fire.

Fightin' fire with fire.

Gonna burst into flames.

Fightin' fire with fire.

Fightin' fire with fire.

Fightin' fire with fire.

Gonna burst into flames.

Burning down the house.

My house.

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 your TV set.

Fightin' fire with fire.

Burning down the house.

Burning down the house.
