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 gray 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
