HOUSE BURNING DOWN - By Jimi Hendrix

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red.
Somebody's house 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,
"Uh, 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.

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 and I screamed without a crack,
I say "Oh, baby, why'd you burn you brother's house down?"

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red.
Somebody's house burnin' down down down down.
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red.
Somebody's house burnin' down down down down down.

Well, someone stepped from the crowd. He was nineteen miles high.
She 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.

So I finally rode away, but I'll never forget that day
'cause when I reached the valley I looked way down 'cross this way.
A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace
and came and taken all the dead away.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red.
Somebody's house burnin' down down down down.
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red.
Somebody's house burnin' down down down down.
Look at the sky turn a, look at the sky turn a hell fire red, Lord.
