Somebody's House Is Burning (Down Down Down)

Look at the sky
turnin' 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 well 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
daddies mothers
standin' 'round cryin'

When I reached the scene the flames
were makin' a ghostly wine

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?"

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 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 took
all the dead away.


What'd I say.
Look at the sky turning
hell fire red Lord

Somebody's house is burning
down down, down down

Look at the sky turning
a hell fire red Lord

Somebody's house is
burning down down, down down
Look at the sky, look at the sky.
