 "Burning Down The House"
Watch out
You might get what youre after
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger
Im an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the partys over
Hold tight were in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Heres your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin fire with fire

All wet
Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house
Sout of the ordinary
Thats might
Dont want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin yet
Everythings stuck together
I dont know what you expect starring into the tv set
Fighting fire with fire

It was an abandoned, vacated, unused bird house my wife's cousin threw in the campfire in his back yard. Maybe he got a new one. Maybe termites took it over. I didn't ask him the reason.

No birds were hurt or left homeless in the making of this photo.

This was at a 4th-of-July party, had a fire in the evening. I gues he didn't need the birdhouse. No birds were hurt or evicted in this shooting. How can a shot of fire be cool?

Per someone's suggestions I "Burned" the fire in PS3, but I forgot to set it to highlights, which inadveertently made it a duller fire.

I'm greatly thankful for all the comments.

The "bubbles" in the background are distracting and I don't think the circles make the photo better. I like the composition, the colors. But I'm gonna cry.
