Kula Shaker - Burning Down lyrics
[Kula Shaker - Burning Down lyrics]
And I tell no lies
I woke up one day and I opened my eyes
I saw the fields and I saw the town
The whole god almighty world was burning down
Burning down
Well I used to have a job but now I'm broke
And there's nothing so queer
As the strangest folk
I seen Women and Children and Men in chains
All crying together in the burning flames
Burning flames
But I was told about forgiveness
One love, the only truth
I am here to bear witness
I surrender unto you
I'm your long lost son
But I've found my way
And I hope it's not too late
'Cause I feel the fiery flames
I'm burning down
Burning down
Burning down
Burning down
I see no water but I fear I'll drown
I see no fire but I'm burning down
It's just a trick of the light
Messin' with my mind
Then I done woke up and I opened my eyes
It was just a devil in a cheap disguise
But I was told about forgiveness
One love, the only truth
I am here to bear witness
I surrender unto you
I'm burning down
Burning down
Burning down
Burning down
(Burning down) Burning down but
There ain't no fire
(Burning down) Burning down but
There ain't no heat
(Burning down) Build me a boat
And a body of water
(Burning down) Bring his blood and
The bread to eat
