House Burning Down

Lyrics

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey  
  
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red  
Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down  
Down, down, down.  
  
Well I asked my friend where is that black smoke comin' from  
He just coughed and changed the subject and  
said oh wa I think it might snow some  
So I left him sippin' his tea an' I jumped in my chariot  
And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time  
  
Sisters and brothers daddys mothers standin' 'round cryin'  
When I reached the scene the flames were makin' a ghostly whine  
So I stood on my horse's back an' I screamed without a crack  
I say oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down  
  
Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !  
  
Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord  
Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down  
Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord  
Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down down  
  
Well someone stepped from the crowd he was nineteen miles high  
He shouts retired 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 fin'ly 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  
  
Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !  
  
What'd I say  
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  
Look at the sky, look at the sky  
  
Ooh, ooh, ooh  
Ooh, ooh, ooh  
Oh baby
