Versuri Jimi Hendrix - House Burning Down



Album: Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland Pt. 2

Hey! hey! hey! hey

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red
Somebodys 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 wa 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 daddys mothers standin round cryin
When I reached the scene the flames were makin a ghostly whine
So I stood on my horses back an I screamed without a crack
I say oh baby whyd you burn your brothers house down ?

Hey ! hey ! hey ! hey !

Look out the sky turn a hell fire red lord
Somebodys house is burnin down down, down down
Look out the sky turn a hell fire red lord
Somebodys 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 dont burn yourself instead
Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah.

So I finly rode away but Ill 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 taken all the dead away.

Hey ! hey ! hey ! hey !

Whatd I say.
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red lord
Somebodys house is burning down down, down down
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red lord
Somebodys house is burning down down, down down
Look at the sky, look at the sky.

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh baby
