House On Fire

It's always the kids who liked to get real dizzy

on the playground that got into drugs

It's always the guys who had girlfriends first

either went into finance or turned into thugs

I need someone like you

Those hollow figures just won't do

And I got to have you need me too

I just want to get along.

I just want to get along,

like a house on fire

I don't want to be alone.

I don't want to be alone.

Please just help me find you

All the girls staring up at the sun

find out too late the damage is done

All the daughters playing out in the rain

find out that the grown up games just ain't any fun

If you would be with someone like me

Go back to when we both were free

And get along famously

I just want to get along.

I just want to get along,

like a house on fire

I don't want to be alone.

I don't want to be alone.

Please just help me find you

Come on, come on turn me on.

Come on, come on turn me on.

Nothing would be finer

I just want to get along.

I just want to get along,

like a house on fire

Like a house on fire

Like a house on fire

I just want to get along.

I just want to get along,

like a house on fire

I don't want to be alone.

I don't want to be alone.

Please just help me find you

Come on, come on turn me on.

Come on, come on turn me on.

Nothing would be finer

I just want to get along.

I just want to get along,

like a house on fire
