Something's Burning

While invisible hands hold down whole towns The little folks bleat out a whimpering sound Like a sliced-up skinned-off cattle hide Carved apart by the butcher's knife Do you smell something burning Do you smell something burning now Do you now Sense the accelerant, shelter your daughters Prudently stockpile your food and your water Just stay indoors and fear thy neighbor Waiting on your holy savior Do you smell something burning Do you smell something burning down Do you now Ashes to ash Fire and flame Ashes to ash, baby It's back again Everyone's screaming out, "run for your lives" You gotta take a chance if you wanna survive Trade favors, ignore what you've heard And make haste for the edge of the known world Do you smell something burning Do you smell something burning down Do you now Ashes to ash Fire and flame Ashes to ash, baby It's back again Ashes to ash, yeah Fire and flame Ashes to ash, yeah It's happenin' again Everyone's screaming out, "run for your lives" You gotta take a chance if you wanna survive Everyone's screaming out, "run for your lives" You gotta take a chance if you wanna survive, c'mon Do you feel the tide turning Do you feel the tide turning now Do you now Ashes to ash Fire and flame Ashes to ash, baby It's back again Ashes to ash Fire and flame Ashes to ash Watch it happenin' again
