I'VE 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'VE GOT MY STORY STRAIGHT
DOWN TO A TEE
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'M-A SET
YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE
RUNNIN', I'M RUNNIN'
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'M-A SET
YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE
IF SOMEBODY GOES
AND CALLS THE BRIGADE
I'LL ALREADY BE
TOO FAR AWAY
I'VE 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, DARLIN', 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'M-A SET
YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE
RUNNIN', I'M RUNNIN'
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'M-A SET
YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE
NOW I'M-A SET
YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE...
YOU LIAR
NOW I'M-A 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'M-A SET
YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE
