Gonna burst into flames, ah Burning down the house [Verse 4] My house Is 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 [Chorus] No visible means of support And you have not seen nothin' yet Everything's stuck together And I don't know what you expect Staring into the TV set Fightin' fire with fire, ah David Byrne - Lead Vocals, Guitar Chris Frantz - Drums Jerry Harrison - Keyboards, Guitar Tina Weymouth - Bass #TalkingHeads #BurningDowntheHouse #NewWave #PostPunk #ArtRock #AlternativeRock #FunkRock #DanceRock #80sMusic Wed, 08 Apr 2026 20:12:52 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://u2be.ovh https://u2be.ovh/lazy-static/avatars/53cf3279-800d-4a51-9a05-ad80e6849bcf.jpg https://u2be.ovh/videos/watch/71eaf1b4-58e5-47c6-8148-4e6b1ec1b903 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://u2be.ovh/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
