Burning Down the House - CocoRosie

Lyrics by：Bianca Casady/Sierra Casady

Composed by：Bianca Casady/Sierra Casady

Bums rushed out the door

Momma didn't want you anymore

A thornless rose in her side

A burden despite being bonded by blood lines

It wasn't the right time

She said no more free load

This is the end of the freak show

Half shaved and heart broke

Half slewed and half snapped

A rat trap snapping back

Hand bone hand me down

Baloney sandwich lonely clown

Smoke laugh toke craft

Porn blood piss grass

Kiss miss heart hand

Tried to take a stand

Down dropped sales low

The joys and woes

The curtains slowly close

Burning down the house to smoke them out

I was on the brink like so many times

Got children and wives waving forks and knives

Burning down the house the dead girl shouts

Burning down the house to smoke them out

The new sound circles round

Slaughter raging death dice fall hot house burn down

Foes upon foes west to east it goes

The dead girl says let's just be friends

In the glorious tone of marrow and bone

These days of ore

The chance we meet once more

The smoke lightning crack asunder

The peel of guns and the boom of thunder

Burning down the house to smoke them out

I was on the brink like so many times

Got children and wives waving forks and knives

Burning down the house the dead girl shouts

I was on the brink like so many times

Burning down the house to smoke them out

Burning down the house the dead girl shouts

Burning down the house to smoke them out

Burning down the house the dead girl shouts

Burning down the house to smoke them out

Burning down the house the dead girl shouts

Burning down the house to smoke them out

Burning down the house the dead girl shou
