Burning Down the House (Talking Heads co... Lyrics
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 'till the party's over Hold tight We're in for nasty weather There has got to be a way Burning down the house Here's your ticket, pack your bags Time for jumping overboard Transportation is here Close enough, but not too far Baby, you know where you are Fighting fire with fire All wet Here, 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 flame Burning down the house My house Is out of the ordinary That's right Don't want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house No visible means of support And you have not seen nothing yet Everything's stuck together I don't know what you expect Staring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire 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 |

Obviously based around the album version, because his vocal stylings fit more into line with them than the Stop Making Sense live version (1984). That and the fact that DMB has yet to incorperate the SMS version's fuckly awesome jam at the end.
Still a great crowd pumper. And I'm pretty sure Rashawn plays little of this one if any, and focuses on dueting the vocals with Dave. Didn't know the big guy had such pipes. I'm kind of starting to dig the man.
