Burning Down the House (Alternate Version)

The Used - Burning Down The House

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, you’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

Transportation is here

Close enough, but not too far

Maybe you know where you are

Fightin’ fire with fire

All wet, this – you might need a raincoat

Shakedown, dreams 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 said; “baby, what did you expect?”

Gonna burst into flames

Burning down the house

My house, is out 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’s struck together

I don’t know what to expect

Stare into the TV-set

Fightin’ fire with fire

Fightin’ fire with fire

Fightin’ fire with fire

Fightin’ fire with fire

Fightin’ fire with fire

Burning down the house!
