[Lyrics]
Ah, 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 'til 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 jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

Ah, all wet
Hey, you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
365 degrees
Burning down the house

Ah, it was once upon a place
Sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work
Say, baby what do you expect?
Gonna burst into flames, ah

Burning down the house
My house
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

No visible means of support
And you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
Well I don't know what you expect
Staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire, ah

Burning down the house

“'Burning Down the House' wasn't a song about arson, ” Byrne said. “When I wrote the lyrics in 1982, the title phrase was a metaphor for destroying something safe that entrapped you. I envisioned the song as an expression of liberation, to break free from whatever was holding you back. Go baby Go!

[taylorkh]

Can we talk about what she's doing with her voice here though??? It's so stylized and beautiful for this song... constantly so impressed with her vocal control and ability to pull this kind of stuff off

[samuelsanchezlarios]

Can we start a petition for Paramore to do a tribute album of 80’s songs

[BlackCryo]

Hayley's voice and style is such a perfect fit for this song!

[joon]

I feel privileged to hear anything by Paramore this soon after it drops

[OscarMartinez-fujn]

Dawg Hayley's voice in this song is just so fucking cool

[onthelamb]

I'm not too familiar with Paramore, so when I heard this morning they'd covered my favourite song I wasn't expecting to be blown away but my God.
This. Is. So. Damn. Good!

[LevyNeptune]

The entire band not only understood the assignment, they all fucking KOCKED IT OUT

[RiskE]

it sounds like her entire life was leading up to THIS cover, shes literally a perfect fit for this song

[issaphae]

paramore dropping this with no youtube or social media avatars is so funny.

[blvzopu]

I would like to personally thank Zac Farro for all the effort he puts into this band.

[bossbaby]

The PERFECT heads song for them to cover. This could be on the most recent album to be honest, it would totally fit in with the vibe.

[irissawyers]

I feel like she's giving such a great delivery from her stomach, like that's where POWER comes from as a singer, and its such an emotional embodiment of vocals and the perfect song for it!

[souldrips]

We need a new album with this sound omg

[jennadriggers]

so lucky to be alive in the same time as paramore

[sophiaboehm]

IT SOUNDS SO Hayley is so freaking impressive. She somehow did the coolest vocal shriek in history and it was the most impressive thing ever

[nicolettechristiansen]

Playing this has stopped both kids from screaming immediately and they started dancing. Add this to the list of a million ways Paramore has saved me ❤❤❤❤

[lieselottekramer]

I really like how Paramore’s newer music has such a fresh sound to it. I love this vocal style for Hayley

[Sage-ewdr]
