And the wind picked up, the fire spread
And the grapevine seemed, left for dead
And the northern sky looked
Like the end of days, the end of days
The wake up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us it's only a matter of time
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
We bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughter's school and we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill, on a hill
We watched the plumes paint the sky gray
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
And there I knew we'd be alright
That everything would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright
And the news reports on the radio said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames
But I couldn't think of anywhere, where I would've rather been
To watch it all burn away
To burn away, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
The firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers for rain on their lips
They knew it was only a matter of time
