House Burning Down

Hey

Hey, hey

Look at the sky turn a hellfire 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 in my chariot and rode off to see

Just why and who could it be this time

Sisters and brothers 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 your brother's house down?"

Hey, hey

Hey, go get me something, hey

Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning

Down, down, down, down

Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning

Down, down, down, down

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 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

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 take all the dead away

Hey, hey

Hey, hey what'd I say?

Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning

Down, down, down, down

Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord

Somebody's house is burning

down, down, down, down

Look at the sky turn,

look at the sky turn a hellfire red
