This house is on fire lyrics

Artist  : Natalie merchant 
Song : This house is on fire
 

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. 
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!
