M: 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.
M: Hold tight.
F: Wait 'til the party's over.
M: Hold tight.
F: We're in for nasty weather.
M: There has got to be a way.
Burning down the house.
F: Here's your ticket, pack your bags.
Time for jumping overboard.
The transportation is here.
M: Close enough but not too far.
Maybe you know where you are.
Fighting fire with fire.
B: All wet.
M: Yeah, you might need a raincoat.
B: Shake down.
M: Dreams walking in broad daylight.
B: 365 degrees.
Burning down the house.
F: It was once upon a place.
Sometimes I listen to myself.
Gonna come in first place.
People on their way to work.
Baby, what did you expect.
M: Gonna burst into flame.
F: Fighting fire with fire.
Fighting fire with fire.

Staring into your TV set,
