Something is burning, baby, are you aware ?
|
Something is the matter, baby, there's smoke in your hair
|
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
|
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind ?
|
|
You've been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while
|
The truth that I'm seeking is in your missing file
|
What's your position, baby, what's going on ?
|
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone ?
|
|
I know everything about this place, or so it seems
|
But am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams ?
|
Well, it is so obvious that something has changed
|
What's happening, baby, to make you act so strange ?
|
|
Something is burning, baby, here's what I say
|
Even the bloodhounds of London couldn't find you today
|
I see the shadow of a man, baby, making you blue
|
Who is he, baby, and what's he to you ?
|
|
We've reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins
|
Where the charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins
|
But where do you live, baby, and where is the light ?
|
Why are your eyes just staring off in the night ?
|
|
I can feel it, in the night, in the night, in the night when I think of you
|
I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light and it's got to be true
|
You can't live by bread alone, you won't be satisfied
|
You can't roll away the stone if your hands are tied.
|
|
Got to start someplace, baby, can you explain ?
|
Please don't fade away on me, baby, like the midnight train
|
Answer me, baby, a casual look will do
|
Just what in the world has come over you ?
|
|
I can feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind and it's upside down
|
I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town
|
I've had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve
|
I don't wanna see you bleed, I know what you need and it ain't what you deserve.
|
|
Something is burning, baby, something's in flames
|
There's a man going 'round calling names
|
Ring down when you're ready, baby, I'm waiting for you
|
I'm believe in the impossible, you know that I do.
