House Burning Down

Lyrics

[Chorus] Hey Hey Hey Hey Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Somebody's house is burning, down, down, down, down Down, down, down [Verse 1] Well, I asked my friend, "Where is that black smoke coming from?" He just coughed and changed the subject and said, "Oh, I think it might snow some" So I left him sipping his tea and I jumped in my chariot And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time Sisters and brothers, daddies, mothers standing 'round crying 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 crack I say, "Oh baby, why'd you burn your brother's house down?" [Chorus] Hey Hey Hey Hey Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning, down, down, down, down Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning, down, down Down, down, down [Verse 2] Well, someone stepped from the crowd, he was nineteen miles high He shouts "We're tired and disgusted, so we paint red through the sky" I said "The truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself instead Try to learn instead of burn", hear what I say, yeah, yeah So, I finally rode away but I'll never forget that day 'Cause when I reached the valley I looked way down cross the way A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace And came and taken all the dead away [Chorus] Hey Hey Hey Hey Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning, down, down, down, down Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning, down, down, down, down [Outro] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, baby
