The day the Earth caught fire   We stood outside the world was laughing   And in the city square   They cast umbrellas to the sky   The sun above my head was burning greedy red   The horns began to blow "Three Cheers for jericho"    The first evacuee   I was headed for the sea, I saw them   The roadside refugees   The boys with bloody knees who waved   Abandoned cars that lay too tired to drive away   "A World in Flames Today" was all the papers   Had to say    Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)   Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)   Run, run, run   Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)   Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)   Run, run, run    The streetcar prophet said,   "You thought that God was dead-I warned you   The sinners and the saved   They fell down to their knees and prayed   Believers held their breath and stoned a witch to death   The leaders and the led said "Blow the bloody   Reds away!"    Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)   Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)   Run, run, run   Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)   Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)   Run. run, run    these lyrics are submitted by burkul
