Talking Heads Burning Down the House

Speaking in Tongues (1983) Watch out you might get what you re after Boom 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 Here s your ticket pack your bag Time for jumpin overboard The transportation is here Close enough but not too far Maybe you know where you are Fightin 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 upon a place sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place People on their way to work and baby what did you except Gonna burst into flame
