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
Swept her up and off my wavelength
Swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire
So thick and grey
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
Death comes driving, I can't do nothing
Death goes
There must be something, there must be something
That remains
There must be something
There must be something
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin
Took my baby
Took my baby away

Lyrics[edit | edit source]
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
