|
The day the Earth caught fire |
|
We stood outside the world was laughing |
|
And in the city square |
|
They cast umbrellas to the sky |
|
The sun above my head was burning greedy red |
|
The horns began to blow "Three Cheers for jericho" |
|
The first evacuee |
|
I was headed for the sea, I saw them |
|
The roadside refugees |
|
The boys with bloody knees who waved |
|
Abandoned cars that lay too tired to drive away |
|
"A World in Flames Today" was all the papers |
|
had to say |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire) |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire) |
|
Run, run, run |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire) |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire) |
|
Run, run, run |
|
The streetcar prophet said, |
|
"You thought that God was dead-I warned you |
|
The sinners and the saved |
|
They fell down to their knees and prayed |
|
Believers held their breath and stoned a witch to death |
|
The leaders and the led said "Blow the bloody |
|
Reds away!" |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire) |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire) |
|
Run, run, run |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire) |
|
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire) |
|
Run. run, run |
