This House Is on Fire Songtext
von Natalie Merchant

This house is on fire!

Well, kick off your boots, come sit a spell
Listen to me worry, come on listen well

All you better best come lean in boys
I don′t dare to raise my voice

I've been sitting here for the longest time
Reading all the warning and the danger signs
Whoa but I don′t have the gift of the prophecy
Telling everybody how it, it's gonna be


Soon come, soon come the day
This tinderbox is gonna blow in your face!
Your face!
Your face!
But, I don't have the gift of the prophecy
Telling everybody how it′s gonna be
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
People only stand for that for just, so long

It′s all gonna catch like a house on fire
Spark an evil blaze and burn higher
Well, I don't have the gift of the prophecy
Telling everybody how it′s gonna be
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
People only stand for that for just, so long
I don't have the gift of the prophecy
Telling everybody how it′s gonna be
There's a wild fire catching In the whip of the wind
That ′d start a conflagration like there has never been!

This house is on fire!
This house is on fire
