Burning Down the House Lyrics by Paramore

Hard Times / Burning Down the House

2024

[Intro]
(Who got a match?)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Ooh, all wet
Hey, you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty-five degrees
Burning down the house

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
Burning down the house

[Verse 4]
My house
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Ooh
Ah, yeah
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
