Burning Down the House Songtext
von Paramore

(Who got a match?)

Ooh, 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 ′til the party's over
Hold tight
We're in for nasty weather
And there has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Well, here′s your ticket, pack your bags
Time for jumpin′ overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough, but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire


Ooh, 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 upon a place
Sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
And people on their way to work
Say, "Baby, what did you expect?"
Gonna burst into flames, ah

Burning down the house

My house′s
Out of the ordinary
That's right
Don′t wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Ah, burning down the house


No visible means of support
And you have not seen nothing yet
Everything's stuck together
Well, I don′t know what you expect
Staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire, ah
Ooh
Ah, yeah

Burning down the house

Burning down the house
