Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a ladys dress
Death comes driving down the highway
In its sunday best
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
Swept her up and off my wavelength
Swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire
So thick and grey
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
Death comes driving
I cant do nothing
Death goes
There must be something
There must be something
That remains
There must be something
There must be something
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby
Took my baby away
