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
