House On Fire Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

You are the most important person to me
But I′ve been watching your light fade
And I can't seem to say anything
Without you pointing and yelling at me

But your house is on fire
I can see it from the end of the road
Your house is on fire
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Yeah, yeah

So come on, take off that heavy, heavy, heavy coat
And just admit that it′s your life
And you don't feel like you can cope
'Cause there are women from our history
Who are living underneath your skin
And they′ve been waiting for you to let go and finally give in


But your house is on fire
I can see it from the end of the road
Your house is on fire
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, yeah
Your house, it′s on fire, it's on fire

So ask the help of Jesus, ask the help of Allah
No one really cares how many skeletons are in your closet
We will help you open up the windows
Open up your heart now and let in fresh air
′Cause all I see is smoke rising from your body
As you walk around here, you're working this party
With a smile on your face and a dagger in your hand
I′m throwing you a rope, my friend
Climb up, climb up, climb up here on dry land

But your house is on fire
I can see it from the end of the road
Your house is on fire
Everybody knows that your house is on fire
I can see it from the end of the road


Your house is on fire
Everybody knows, everybody knows, eh, eh
It's your house, your house, your house
Your house is on fire, eh, eh
Your house, your house, your house, your house is on fire
Your house, your house, your house, your house is on fire
