the jimi hendrix experience - house burning down lyrics

[chorus]
hey! hey! hey! hey
look at the sky turn a h-ll fire red
somebody’s house is burning down down, down down
down, down, down

[verse 1]
well i asked my friend, “where is that black smoke coming from?”
he just coughed and changed the subject and said, “oh, i think it might snow some”
so i left him sipping his tea and i jumped in my chariot
and rode off to see just why and who could it be this time
sisters and brothers, daddies, mothers standing around crying
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 crack
i say, “oh baby why’d you burn your brother’s house down?”

[chorus]
hey! hey! hey! hey
look at the sky turn a h-ll fire red
somebody’s house is burning down down, down down
down, down, down

[verse 2]
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 finally rode away but i’ll never forget that day
because when i reached the valley i looked way down cross the way
a giant boat from sp-ce landed with eerie grace
and came and taken all the dead away

[chorus]
hey! hey! hey! hey
look at the sky turn a h-ll fire red
somebody’s house is burning down down, down down
down, down, down

[outro]
ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
oh baby
