1
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey
2
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red
3
Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down
4
Down, down, down.
5
Well I asked my friend where is that black smoke comin' from?
6
He just coughed and changed the subject and said oh wa I think it might
7
Snow some
8
So I left him sippin' his tea an' I jumped in my chariot
9
And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time.
10
Sisters and brothers daddys mothers standin' 'round cryin'
11
When I reached the scene the flames were makin' a ghostly whine
12
So I stood on my horse's back an' I screamed without a crack
13
I say oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down?
14
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
15
Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
16
Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down
17
Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
18
Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down down.
19
Well someone stepped from the crowd he was nineteen miles high
20
He shouts retired and disgusted so we paint red through the sky
21
I said the truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself instead
22
Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah.
23
So I fin'ly rode away but I'll never forget that day
24
'Cause when I reached the valley I looked way down cross the way
25
A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace
26
And came and taken all the dead away.
27
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
28
What'd I say.
29
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
30
Somebody's house is burning down down, down down
31
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
32
Somebody's house is burning down down, down down
33
Look at the sky, look at the sky.
34
Ooh, ooh, ooh
35
Ooh, ooh, ooh
36
Oh baby.
