8. Burning Down The House Songtext
von Dave Matthews Band

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 is 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 jumping overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire


All wet
Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once a place
Sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work
Baby don′t, what did you expect
Gonna burst into flames (eh eh)

Burning down the house

My house is 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

No visible means of support
And you have not seen nothing yet
Everything′s stuck together
I don't know what you expect
Starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire (eh)


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
