Jorn - The Day The Earth Caught Fire lyrics

At the first stroke it will be there o'clock precisely The day the earth caught fire We stod outside the world was laughing And the city square The cast umbrellas to the sky The sun above my head was burning greedy red The horns began to blow three cheers for Jericho The first evacuee I was headed for the sea I saw them The roadside refugees The boys with bloody knees who waved Abandoned cars that lay too tired to drive away A world in flames today was all the papers had to say Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run, run, run The earth's on fire....ooh The streetcar prophet said You tought that God was dead I warned you The sinners and the saved They fell down to their knees and prayed Believers held their breath and stoned a witch to d**h The leaders and the led said Blow the bloody Reds away...oh yeah Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run, run, run Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run, run, run Hmmm....you better run You better run...oh yeah Run for your life...your life The earth's on fire...ooh Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run, run, run Run for your life Run for your life Run for your life the earth's caught fire Run for your life
