Gonna burst into flames, ah Burning down the house [Verse 4] My house Is out of the ordinary That's right Don't wanna hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house [Chorus] No visible means of support And you have not seen nothin' yet Everything's stuck together And I don't know what you expect Staring into the TV set Fightin' fire with fire, ah ******************* The Official YouTube Channel of Talking Heads: David Byrne - Lead Vocals, Guitar Chris Frantz - Drums Jerry Harrison - Keyboards, Guitar Tina Weymouth - Bass
