Tekst piosenki

język tekstu: angielski
Watch out you might get what you're after Boom 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 and baby what did you except Gonna burst into flame My house! Is out of the ordinary That's right! Don't wanna 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 starring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire

Autorzy piosenki: David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth
