(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
