House Burning Down

Lyrics

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
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey what'd i say
 Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red lord
 Somedbody's house is burning
 Down down down down
 Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red lord
 Somedbody's house is burning
 Down down down down
 Look at the sky turn, look at the sky turn a hell-fire red
 Ooo ooo ooo
 Ooo ooo ooo
 Ooo ooo ooo
 Come on baby
