You are the most important person to me
And 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
Everybody knows

Come on get out from under that heavy, heavy coat
Just admit that it's light and you don't think that you can cope
Cuz there are women from history
That are living underneath your skin
And they're 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 baby
Everybody knows

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 flow and let in flesh air
Cuz all I see is smoke rising from your body
As you walk around here you're working the party
Smile on your face dagger in your hand
I'm throwing you a rope my friend
Climb up, climb up here
I'm drowning.

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
