This House Is On Fire — текст песни (Natalie Merchant)

This house is on fire!

Kick off your boots, come sit a spell.
Listen to me worry, come and listen well.

All you better best come and lean in boys
I don`t dare raise my voice

I`ve been sitting here for the longest time
Reading all the warning and the danger signs
I don`t have the gift of the prophecy
Telling everybody how it`s going to be

Soon come, soon come the day
This tinderbox is gonna blow in your face.
Your face, your face
I don`t have the gift of the prophesy
Telling everybody how it`s going to be.
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
People only stand for that for just so long.

It`s all gonna catch like a house on fire
Spark an evil blaze and burn higher

Well, I don`t have the gift of the prophesy
Telling everybody how it`s going to be
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
People only stand for that for just so long

I don`t have the gift of the prophesy
Telling everybody how it`s going to be.
There`s a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind
That could start a conflagration like there has never been

This house is on fire!
This house is on fire
