Burn The House Down Lyrics

Burn The House Down lyrics

I met a sketchy little woman

And she walked a crooked line

She took a page from the Bible

Turnin' water into wine



She talked about a spirit

Said she had a crystal ball

Even spoke with the devil, made a telephone call

With her hocus pokus oil and brews



Everything she ID was front page news

The people all came on a Saturday night

We'll run her out of town and if she puts up a fight

Then we'll burn the house down



Burn the house down

Burn the house down

And throw away the key



So the bishop takes his queen

Across a check board square

Took a rose from her garden

And a lock from her hair



He talked some mambo jumbo

'Bout the moon and stars

Said he's walkin' on the water

When he's drivin' his car



Another Saturday night

And the newspapers read

The holy man died

He was smokin' in bed



Burn the house down

Burn the house down

And throw away the key



Burn the house down

Burn it into the ground

And throw away the key



So when you're sleepin' all alone

And there's a knock on your door

And you're on your knees prayin'

'Cause your like is a war



Say a Hail Mary as runnin' out of town

And thank the Lord you're living

As they burn your house down



Burn the house down

Burn the house down, down, down

And throw away the key



Burn the house down

Burn it to the ground

And throw away the key
