Natalie Merchant - This House Is On Fire Lyrics
This House is on fire!Kick off your boots, come and sit a spellListen to me worry, come and listen wellAll you better best come and lean in boysCause I don't dare to raise my voiceI've been sitting here for the longest timeReading all the warning and the danger signsI don't have the gift of the prophecyTelling everybody how it's gonna beSoon come, soon come the day this tinderboxIs gonna blow in your faceI don't have the gift of the prophecyTelling everybody how it's gonna beYou go passing wrong for right and right for wrongPeople only stand for that for just so longIt's all gonna catch like a house on fireSpark an evil blaze and burn higherWell, I don't have the gift of the prophecyTelling everybody how it's gonna beYou go passing wrong for right and right for wrongPeople only stand for that for just so longI don't have the gift of the prophecyTelling everybody how it's gonna beThere's a wild fire catching in the whip of the windThat could start a conflagrationLike there has never been.This house is on fire!
