Lyrics
Fire of Unknown Origin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Death comes sweeping through the hallway, like a lady's dress
Death comes driving down the highway, in it's Sunday best
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
Swept to ruin off my wavelength, swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire, so thick and gray
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
Death comes driving - I can't do nothing! Death goes.
There must be something - there must be something that remains
Something, something
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
