House Burning Down
Yeah
said hey
hey said that
hey
look at the sky runt a hell-fir red
somebody's house is burnin'
down down down down
down down yeah
Well i asked my friend
where is that black smoke comin' from?
he just coughed and changed the subject
and said uh, well i think it might snow some
so i left him sippin' his tea
and i jumped i my chariot and rode off to see
just why and who could it be this time
yeah yea yeah yeah
sisters and brohers daddies mothers standin' around cryin'
when i reached the scene the flames were making a ghostly whine
so i stood on my horse's back and i screamed without a whack
i say oh baby why did you burn you brother's house down?
Hey
hey
hey go get me something
hey
look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, lord
somebody's house is burning
down down down down
look at the sky run a hell-fire red, lord
somebody's house is burning
down down down down
Well someone stepped from the crowd
he mas nineteen miles high
he shouts we're tired and disgusted
so we paint red through the sky
i say the truth is straight ahead
so don't burn you self instead
try to learn instead of burn
hear what i say
yeah yeah
So i finally rode away
byt i'll never forget that day
cause when i reached the vally
i looked way down 'cross the way
a giant boat from space
landed with eerie grace
and came and take all the dead away
Hey

look at the sky turn a hell-fire red lord
somedbody's house is burning
