Something s Burning, Baby lyrics

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.
