Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a lady's dress
Like a lady's dress

A fire of unknown origin
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby
Took my baby
Took my baby away
Took my baby away</poem>
|-|Agents of Fortune=
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 grey
 
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 made me feel sick and crazy
'Cause that fire...
 
A fire of unknown origin
A fire of unknown origin
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away</tabber>
</poem>
