Burn The House Down Lyrics - Singles - Jonas

I met a sketchy little woman 

And she walked a crooked line 

She took a page from the Bible 

Turnin' water into wine 

She talked about a spirit 

Said she had a crystal ball 

Even spoke with the devil, made a telephone call 

With her hocus pokus oil and brews 

Everything she ID was front page news 

The people all came on a Saturday night 

We'll run her out of town and if she puts up a fight 

Then we'll burn the house down 

Burn the house down 

Burn the house down 

And throw away the key 

So the bishop takes his queen 

Across a check board square 

Took a rose from her garden 

And a lock from her hair 

He talked some mambo jumbo 

'Bout the moon and stars 

Said he's walkin' on the water 

When he's drivin' his car 

Another Saturday night 

And the newspapers read 

The holy man died 

He was smokin' in bed 

Burn the house down 

Burn the house down 

And throw away the key 

Burn the house down 

Burn it into the ground 

And throw away the key 

So when you're sleepin' all alone 

And there's a knock on your door 

And you're on your knees prayin' 

'Cause your like is a war 

Say a Hail Mary as runnin' out of town 

And thank the Lord you're living 

As they burn your house down 

Burn the house down 

Burn the house down, down, down 

And throw away the key 

Burn the house down 

Burn it to the ground 

And throw away the key
