Talking Heads, "Burning Down The House"
Misheard Lyrics:
Here's the ticket pack your bag,
stop what you've been working on
Yes the thing's surely here
Close enough but not too far,
Baby you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire
stop what you've been working on
Yes the thing's surely here
Close enough but not too far,
Baby you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire
Original Lyrics:
Here's your ticket pack your bag,
time for jumping overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
time for jumping overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
