Lyrics
Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a lady's 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
Away
Swept her up and off my wavelength
Swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire
Thick and gray
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
Away
Death comes driving, I can't do nothing
Death goes on
There must be something
There must be something that remains
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
Away
Death makes me feel sick and crazy
Come back home
A fire of unknown origin
A fire of unknown origin
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
