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.
