House on Fire Lyrics by Treat

Ghost of Graceland

2016

[Verse 1]
Who will give the sting
To get you in the ring
You could split the atom at the core
Show the crowd this means war
An old and cheap perfume
When the elephant′s in the room
It's hide and seek or make believe
The wild card up your sleeve
[Chorus]
When hell breaks loose, then no one’s a liar
We get on like a house on fire
All burnt down, aim for another
We get on like a house on fire
Too many problems, too little patience
Loving the sound of striking matches
Diving and jumping out of the frying pan
Like a house on fire!
Fire!
[Verse 2]
Would you dare to stay
At the arson of the day
Sleep on embers, dance on coals
Star all over far away
Sad but true, there ain't no sides
On this neverending ride
Just playing games without a clue
Conquer and divide
[Chorus]
When hell breaks loose, then no one's a liar
We get on like a house on fire
All burnt down, aim for another
We get on like a house on fire
Too many problems, too little patience
Loving the sound of striking matches
Diving and jumping out of the frying pan
Like a house on fire!
Fire!
[Chorus]
When hell breaks loose, then no one’s a liar
We get on like a house on fire
All burnt down, aim for another
We get on like a house on fire
Too many problems, too little patience
Loving the sound of striking matches
Diving and jumping out of the frying pan
Like a house on fire!
Fire! Fire! Fire!
