Burning down the House   Heads




                          BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE
                       Talking Heads (David Byrne)


     Watch out, you might get what you're after
     Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
     I'm an or-di-na-ry guy
     Burning down the house

     G - - - /    / F - - - /    /  x4  /  x4  / G - - - / A - - - / F - - - /    //

     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

          G - - - /    / F - - - /    // (4x)

     All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
     Shakedown, dream walking in broad daylight
     Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
     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, baby what do expect
          Gonna burst into flame

     My house, s'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 nothin' yet
          Everything's stuck together
          I don't what you expect, staring into the TV set
          Fighting fire with fire
