Текст The Jimi Hendrix Experience — House Burning Down

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red
Somebody’s house is burning down down, down down
Down, down, down

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?»

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey
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, down

Well, someone stepped from the crowd, he was nineteen miles high
He shouts we’re tired 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 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, 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

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