Something is burning, baby, are you aware ?
Something is the matter, baby, there`s smoke in your hair
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind ?
You`ve been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while
The truth that I`m seeking is in your missing file
What`s your position, baby, what`s going on ?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone ?
I know everything about this place, or so it seems
But am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams ?
Well, it is so obvious that something has changed
What`s happening, baby, to make you act so strange ?
Something is burning, baby, here`s what I say
Even the bloodhounds of London couldn`t find you today
I see the shadow of a man, baby, making you blue
Who is he, baby, and what`s he to you ?
We`ve reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins
Where the charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins
But where do you live, baby, and where is the light ?
Why are your eyes just staring off in the night ?
I can feel it, in the night, in the night, in the night when I think of you
I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light and it`s got to be true
You can`t live by bread alone, you won`t be satisfied
You can`t roll away the stone if your hands are tied.
Got to start someplace, baby, can you explain ?
Please don`t fade away on me, baby, like the midnight train
Answer me, baby, a casual look will do
Just what in the world has come over you ?
I can feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind and it`s upside down
I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town
I`ve had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve
I don`t wanna see you bleed, I know what you need and it ain`t what you deserve.
Something is burning, baby, something`s in flames
There`s a man going `round calling names
Ring down when you`re ready, baby, I`m waiting for you
I`m believe in the impossible, you know that I do.
