House Burning Down — текст песни (Jimi Hendrix)

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red
Somebody`s 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 horse`s back an` I screamed without a crack
I say oh baby why`d you burn your brother`s house down ?

Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !

Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody`s house is burnin` down down, down down
Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody`s 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 don`t burn yourself instead
Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah.

So I fin`ly 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 taken all the dead away.

Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !

What`d I say.
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody`s house is burning down down, down down
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody`s house is burning down down, down down
Look at the sky, look at the sky.

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