House Burnin' Down Songtext

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Lord Somebody's house is burnin' down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Well I asked my friend, "Just where is that black smoke comin' from?" He just coughed and changed the subject said, "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, daddys mother's standin' 'round cryin' And when I reached the scene the flames were makin' a ghostly whine So I stood on my horse's back and I screamed without a crack I said, "Oh baby why'd ya burn your brother's house down?", yeah Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Lord Somebody's house is burnin' down, down, down, down Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Lord Somebody's house is burnin' 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" Oh the truth is straight ahead don't burn yourself instead Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say Hey I finally rode away but I'll never forget that day 'Cause when I reached the valley I looked down across the way A giant boat from space had landed with an eerie grace And came and taken all the dead away Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Lord Somebody's house is burnin' down, down, down, down Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Lord Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Lord Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Somebody's house is burnin' down, down, down, down Down, down, down Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh... Burn, burn, burn... Down, down, down... Hey
