Jorn - The Day the Earth Caught Fire lyrics
[Jorn - The Day the Earth Caught Fire lyrics]
At the first stroke it will
Be there o’clock precisely
The day the earth caught fire
We stod outside the world was laughing
And the city square
The 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 the earth’s on fireooh
The streetcar prophet said
You tought 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 awayoh yeah
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 caught fire
Run for your life the earth’s caught fire
Run, run, run hmmmyou better run
You better runoh yeah
Run for your lifeyour life
The earth’s on fireooh
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
Run for your life
Run for your life the earth’s caught fire
Run for your life
Be there o’clock precisely
The day the earth caught fire
We stod outside the world was laughing
And the city square
The 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 the earth’s on fireooh
The streetcar prophet said
You tought 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 awayoh yeah
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 caught fire
Run for your life the earth’s caught fire
Run, run, run hmmmyou better run
