"Burning Down The House" lyrics
"Burning Down The House"
(originally by Talking Heads)
Watch out;
You might get what you're after.
Cool babies;
Strange but not a stranger.
I'm-an-or-din-a-ry-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.
Here's your ticket, pack your bag:
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.
Three-hun-dred-six-ty-five-de-grees.
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 flame.
Burning down the house.
My house;
Is out of the ordinary.
That's right;
Don't want to hurt nobody.
Some-things-sure-can-knock-me-off-my-feet.
Burning down the house.
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet.
Everything's stuck together.
I don't know what you expect stare into the TV set.
Fighting fire with fire.
Fighting fire with fire [x5]
Burning down the house!
Writer(s): David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison

Lostprophets - "Everyday Combat" Bar Fight, week night
You don't look right, poor mite, no bite
Wake up, first light
This is what we live and what we see...
Dance club, strip light
Get drunk, no sight, watch it ignite
Live it...
Plain White T's - "A Lonely September" I'm sittin' here all by myself
Just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
Just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're...
Hawthorne Heights - "Ohio Is For Lovers" Hey, there
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all
Where you are and how you feel
With these lights off as these wheels
Keep rolling on and on and on and on and on
Slow things down or speed...
Thrice - "The Artist In The Ambulance" Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white...
Dance Gavin Dance - "Inspire The Liars" Say you want to know the truth
Well, you can ask me a question
I'll tell you something that you may wanna hear
But I'll lie, lie
I don't really wanna be the bitch that gives a shit, bottles it...
