I dance around this empty house Tear us down Throw you out Screaming down the halls Spinning all around and now we fall Pictures framing up the past Your taunting smirk behind the glass This museum full of ash Once a tickle Now a rash This used to be a fun house But now it's full of evil clowns It's time to start the countdown I'm gonna burn it down, down, down I'm gonna burn it down Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, fun Echoes knocking on locked doors All the laughter from above I'd rather live out on the street Than in this haunted memory I've called the movers Called the maids We'll try to exorcise this place Drag my mattress to the yard Crumble tumble house of cards This used to be a fun house But now it's full of evil clowns It's time to start the countdown I'm gonna burn it down, down, down This used to be a fun house But now it's full of evil clowns It's time to start the countdown I'm gonna burn it down, down, down I'm gonna burn it down Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, fun Oh, I'm crawling through the doggy door My key don't fit my lock no more I'll change the drapes I'll break the plates I'll find a new place Burn this fucker down Do do do do dodo do Do do do do dodo do Do do do do dodo do Do do do do do da da da da Do do do do dodo do (Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) Do do do do dodo do Do do do do dodo do Do do do do dodo do This used to be a fun house But now it's full of evil clowns It's time to start the countdown I'm gonna burn it down, down, down This used to be a fun house But now it's full of evil clowns It's time to start the countdown I'm gonna burn it down, down, down I'm gonna burn it down
