Something is burningbabyare you aware?
Something is the matterbabythere s smoke in your hair
Are you still my friendbabyshow me a sign
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?
You ve been avoiding the main streets for a longlong while
The truth that I m seeking is in your missing file
What s your positionbabywhat s going on?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?
I know everything about this placeor so it seems
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Wellit is so obvious that something has changed
What s happeningbabyto make you act so strange?
Something is burningbabyhere s what I say
Even the bloodhounds of London couldn t find you today
I see the shadow of a manbabymakin you blue
Who is hebabyand what s he to you?
We ve reached the edge of the roadbabywhere the pasture begins
Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins
But where do you livebabyand where is the light?
Why are your eyes just staring off in the night?
I can feel it in the night when I think of you
I can feel it in the light and it s got to be true
You can t live by bread aloneyou won t be satisfied
You can t roll away the stone if your hands are tied
Got to start someplacebabycan you explain?
Please don t fade away on mebabylike the midnight train
Answer mebabya casual look will do
Just what in the world has come over you?
I can feel it 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 bleedI know what you need but it ain t what you deserve
Something is burningbabysomething s in flames
There s a man going round calling names
Ring down when you re readybabyI m waiting for you
I believe in the impossibleyou know that I do
