House On Fire - Melissa Ferrick

You are the most important person to me

But I’ve been watching your light fade

And I can’t seem to say anything

Without you pointing and yelling at me

But your house is on fire

I can see it from the end of the road

Your house is on fire

Everybody knows, every body knows

So come on take off that heavy, heavy… heavy coat

And just admit that its your life and you dont feel like you can cope

'Cuz there are woman from our history who are living underneath your skin

And the’ve been waiting for you to let go and finally give in

But your house is on fire

I can see it from the end of the road

Your house is on fire

Everybody knows, everybody knows — yeah… your house is on fire, is on fire

So ask the help of Jesus, ask the help of Allah

No one really cares how many skeletons are in your closet

We will help you open up the windows

Open up your heart now and let in fresh air

'Cuz all I see is smoke rising from your body

As you walk around here, you’re working this party

With a smile on your face and a dagger in your hand

I’m throwing you a rope my friend

Climb up, climb up, climb up here on dry land

But your house is on fire

I can see it from the end of the road

Your house is on fire

Everybody knows, every body knows
