THE USED LYRICS

"Burning Down The House"

Originally by Talking Heads

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's over)

Hold tight (we're in for nasty weather)

There has got to be a way



Burning down the house



Heres your ticket pack your bags: time for jumping overboard

Transportation is here

Close enough but not too far, maybe you'll know where you are

Fightin' fire with fire



All wet (guess 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

People on their way to work, say baby what did you expect?

Gonna burst into flames



Burning down the house



My house (South of the ordinary)

That's right (don't want to hurt nobody)

Something sure can knock me off my feet



Burning down the house



No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet

Everything stuck together

I don't know what you expect stare into the TV set

Fighting fire with fire
