Lyrics Burning Down - Kula Shaker

Well, I'll tell you my tale and I tell no lies
I woke up one day and I opened my eyes
I saw the fields and I saw the towns
The whole God Almighty world was burning down
Burning down

Well, I used to have job, but now I'm broke
And there's nothing so queer as the strangest folk
I seen women and children and men in chains
All crying together in the burning flames
Burning flames

But I was told about forgiveness, one love the only truth
I'm here to bear witness, I surrender unto you
I'm your long lost son, but I've found my way
And I hope it's not too late, 'cause I feel the fiery flames?

I'm burning down, burning down
Burning down, burning down, yeah

Here we go

I see no water, but I fear I'll drown
I see no fire, but I'm burning down
It's just a trick of the light, messin' with mind
Then I done woke up and I opened my eyes
It was just a devil in a cheap disguise

But I was told about forgiveness, one love the only truth
I'm here to bear witness, I surrender unto you

I'm burning down, burning down
Burning down, burning down, oh-yeah

(Burning down) burning down but there ain't no fire
(Burning down) burning down but there ain't no heat
(Burning down) build me a boat and a body of water
(Burning down) bring His blood and the bread to eat
