talking heads – burning down the house (live) [2023 remaster] lyrics
[intro: chris frantz]
who got a match?
[verse 1]
ah
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
[verse 2]
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
[chorus 1]
here’s your ticket, pack your bag
it’s time for jumping overboard
transportation is here
close enough but not too far
maybe you know where you are
fighting fire with fire
ah
[verse 3]
all wet
here, you might need a raincoat
shakedown
dreams walking in broad daylight
three hundred sixty+five degrees
burning down the house
[chorus 2]
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
go ahead
[instrumental bridge]
burning down the house
[verse 4]
my house
‘s out of the ordinary
that’s right
don’t want to hurt n0body
some things sure can sweep me off my feet
burning down the house
[chorus 3]
no visible means of support
and you have not seen nothing yet
everything’s stuck together
i don’t know what you expect
staring into the tv set
fighting fire with fire
ah
[instrumental outro]
burning down the house
burning down the house
burning down the house
