Jimi Hendrix - House Burning Down Lyrics
Hey! hey! hey! heyLook at the sky turn a hell fire redSomebodys house is burnin down down, down downDown, 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 mightSnow someSo I left him sippin his tea an I jumped in my chariotAnd rode off to see just why and who could it be this time.Sisters and brothers daddys mothers standin round cryinWhen I reached the scene the flames were makin a ghostly whineSo I stood on my horses back an I screamed without a crackI say oh baby whyd you burn your brothers house down ?Hey ! hey ! hey ! hey !Look out the sky turn a hell fire red lordSomebodys house is burnin down down, down downLook out the sky turn a hell fire red lordSomebodys house is burnin down down, down down down.Well someone stepped from the crowd he was nineteen miles highHe shouts retired and disgusted so we paint red through the skyI said the truth is straight ahead so dont burn yourself insteadTry to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah.So I finly rode away but Ill never forget that daycause when I reached the valley I looked way down cross the wayA giant boat from space landed with eerie graceAnd came and taken all the dead away.Hey ! hey ! hey ! hey !Whatd I say.Look at the sky turn a hell fire red lordSomebodys house is burning down down, down downLook at the sky turn a hell fire red lordSomebodys house is burning down down, down downLook at the sky, look at the sky.Ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh, oohOh baby
