House On Fire

I made friends with the head of police

To make sure he'd suspect me the least

If I'm caught I'll be out in a week

I got my story straight down to a T

Oh, I'd say it wasn't me, hmm

And, sure, we dated once in a while

But if there was a motive, it's not enough for a trial

I saw you out, it was zero degrees

And you had your hands right under her sleeves

Oh, you said you don't get cold, you liar

Now I'ma set your house on fire

Running, I'm running back to your place

With gas and a match, it'll go up in flames

Now I know you're not at home, you liar

Now I'ma set your house on fire

If somebody goes and calls the brigade

I'll already be too far away

I bought a map and I planned the escape

I'll dye my hair, change my name

You should've seen this from the start

When you could've been honest, you could've been smart

Yeah, we might have touched, we might have kissed

But, darling, I'm sorry, it's not enough to convict

I saw you out, it was zero degrees

And you had your hands right under her sleeves

Oh, you said you don't get cold, you liar

Now I'ma set your house on fire

Running, I'm running back to your place

With gas and a match, it'll go up in flames

Now I know you're not at home, you liar

Now I'ma set your house on fire

Now I'ma set your house on fire, you liar

Now I'ma set your house on fire

You can look around, but you won't find her

She'll be outta town with the getaway driver

That's the way it feels when the flames get higher

Now I'ma set your house on fire
