Patti Smith Group - Fire of Unknown Origin lyrics
[Patti Smith Group - Fire of Unknown Origin lyrics]
Fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
Swept her up and off me wavelength
Swallowed her up like the ocean
In a fire thick and grey
Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a lady's dress
Death comes riding down the highway
In it's Sunday best death comes riding
Death comes creeping
Death comes, I can do nothing
Death goes there must be
Something that remains
Death, it made me sick and crazy
'Cause that fire it took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
Swept her up and off me wavelength
Swallowed her up like the ocean
In a fire thick and grey
Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a lady's dress
Death comes riding down the highway
In it's Sunday best death comes riding
Death comes creeping
Death comes, I can do nothing
Death goes there must be
Something that remains
Death, it made me sick and crazy
'Cause that fire it took my baby away
