Morten Abel - House On Fire lyrics

Morten Abel - House On Fire

Everybody, everybody...

The wind blows right through my house, it's so old

Yeah in the winter months it can really get cold

It was built by the local bakerman...in the good old days

With thin walls that walks and talks to the night

Rattling and whistling and telling lies

When it's laughing it's shaking the ground

Like the whole thing is gonna come down

Got electricity and light

And water running

And it's all working with me and my girl

Some things needs fixing, nothing serious

We got nowhere to park

So we don't own a car

And we never go that far

And if I had a lighter, I would put the house on fire

You would see the flames for a hundred miles

It would light up the good neighbourhood

And you could see it from the moon

And you could see it from the moon

And we could stand and watch the fireman putting it out

It's all working when the fireman comes

And puts it out so we still have a house

For criminals we got cops who get them cuffed

Sometimes it can get rough

For criminals we got cops who get them cuffed

Sometimes it can get rough

And it's all working with me and my girl

Some things needs fixing, nothing serious

Nothing serious

Nothing serious

For criminals we got cops who get them cuffed
