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
  
   Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
   The 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 baby what did you except
   Gonna burst into flame
  
   My house S'out of the ordinary
   That's might 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 nuthin' yet
   Everything's stuck together
   I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
   Fighting fire with fire
