[Intro: Chris Frantz]
Who got a match?
Come on

[Verse 1]
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]
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]
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 nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

[Chorus]
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 Break]

[Outro]
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
