Something's Burning Lyrics

While invisible hands hold down whole towns

The little folks bleat out a whimpering sound

Like a sliced-up skinned-off cattle hide

Carved apart by the butcher's knife

Do you smell something burning

Do you smell something burning now

Do you now

Sense the accelerant, shelter your daughters

Prudently stockpile your food and your water

Just stay indoors and fear thy neighbor

Waiting on your holy savior

Do you smell something burning

Do you smell something burning down

Do you now

Ashes to ash

Fire and flame

Ashes to ash, baby

It's back again

Everyone's screaming out, "run for your lives"

You gotta take a chance if you wanna survive

Trade favors, ignore what you've heard

And make haste for the edge of the known world

Do you smell something burning

Do you smell something burning down

Do you now

Ashes to ash

Fire and flame

Ashes to ash, baby

It's back again

Ashes to ash, yeah

Fire and flame

Ashes to ash, yeah

It's happenin' again

Everyone's screaming out, "run for your lives"

You gotta take a chance if you wanna survive

Everyone's screaming out, "run for your lives"

You gotta take a chance if you wanna survive, c'mon

Do you feel the tide turning

Do you feel the tide turning now

Do you now

Ashes to ash

Fire and flame

Ashes to ash, baby

It's back again

Ashes to ash

Fire and flame

Ashes to ash

Watch it happenin' again
