The Jimi Hendrix Experience - House Burning Down lyrics

Yeah, said hey Hey said that, hey Look at the sky turn a hellfire red Somebody's house is burnin' down, down, down, down Down, down, yeah Well I asked my friend, "Where is that black smoke comin' from?" He just coughed and changed the subject and said, "Uh, 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, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Sisters and brothers daddies mothers standin' around cryin' When I reached the scene the flames were making a ghostly whine So I stood on my horse's back and I screamed without a whack I say, "Oh baby why did you burn your brother's house down?" Hey, hey Hey, go get me something, hey Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning down, down, down, down Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning 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 I say the truth is straight ahead so don't burn you self 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 take all the dead away Hey, hey Hey, hey what'd I say? Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning down, down, down, down Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord Somebody's house is burning down, down, down, down Look at the sky turn, look at the sky turn a hellfire red Come on baby
