Fire on the hill. | |
Blood on the ground. | |
Not what you see | |
On the good side of town. | |
Not what you'd think. | |
Gone in a blink of an eye. | |
Did he know? | |
Silent and still, | |
His broken prayer | |
Falls from his lips, | |
Vanishing in thin air. | |
Falls to his knees, | |
Breathing his sweet lullaby. | |
And he knows | |
But could he tell? | |
Stuck like a horse | |
On a carousel. | |
All of the plans | |
That he made himself | |
May as well be smoke. | |
What’s left undone | |
Pours from his side. | |
Soul fades away | |
As an ambulance cries. | |
So close to home. | |
There all alone in the dark | |
And he knows | |
Last night, | |
Somebody’s baby, | |
Last night. | |
Somebody’s baby died. |
Fire on the hill. | |
Blood on the ground. | |
Not what you see | |
On the good side of town. | |
Not what you' d think. | |
Gone in a blink of an eye. | |
Did he know? | |
Silent and still, | |
His broken prayer | |
Falls from his lips, | |
Vanishing in thin air. | |
Falls to his knees, | |
Breathing his sweet lullaby. | |
And he knows | |
But could he tell? | |
Stuck like a horse | |
On a carousel. | |
All of the plans | |
That he made himself | |
May as well be smoke. | |
What' s left undone | |
Pours from his side. | |
Soul fades away | |
As an ambulance cries. | |
So close to home. | |
There all alone in the dark | |
And he knows | |
Last night, | |
Somebody' s baby, | |
Last night. | |
Somebody' s baby died. |
Fire on the hill. | |
Blood on the ground. | |
Not what you see | |
On the good side of town. | |
Not what you' d think. | |
