JIMI HENDRIX - House Burning Down lyrics

rate me

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey <br />

<br />

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red <br />

Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down <br />

Down, down, down. <br />

<br />

Well I asked my friend where is that black smoke comin' from ? <br />

He just coughed and changed the subject and said oh wa I think it might <br />

Snow some <br />

So I left him sippin' his tea an' I jumped in my chariot <br />

And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time. <br />

<br />

Sisters and brothers daddys mothers standin' 'round cryin' <br />

When I reached the scene the flames were makin' a ghostly whine <br />

So I stood on my horse's back an' I screamed without a crack <br />

I say oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down ? <br />

<br />

Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! <br />

<br />

Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord <br />

Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down <br />

Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord <br />

Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down down. <br />

<br />

Well someone stepped from the crowd he was nineteen miles high <br />

He shouts retired and disgusted so we paint red through the sky <br />

I said the truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself instead <br />

Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah. <br />

<br />

So I fin'ly rode away but I'll never forget that day <br />

'Cause when I reached the valley I looked way down cross the way <br />

A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace <br />

And came and taken all the dead away. <br />

<br />

Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! <br />

<br />

What'd I say. <br />

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord <br />

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down <br />

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord <br />

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down <br />

Look at the sky, look at the sky. <br />

<br />

Ooh, ooh, ooh <br />

Ooh, ooh, ooh <br />

Oh baby.
