I can't imagine life on earth now
I can't imagine life on earth now
And I just want to know
Is my bedroom still there
Is it still standing
Is the tree I planted still there in the backyard
[Chorus]
I want to know, are things still burning
Still burning
I want to know, are things still burning
Still burning down
Burning down
Burning down
Burning down, down, down
I can picture my mother
Killing black widows with an old broom
I was making all the neighbors
Laugh, I was laying in the blossoms
When the sky went black
[Chorus]
I want to know, are things still burning
Still burning
I want to know, are things still burning
Still burning down
Burning down
Burning down
Burning down, down, down
It's cold up in this fortress
A prison cell with bad lighting
And I want to know, are things till burning
Or can I go home
And I want to know are things still burning
Still burning
I want to know are things still burning
Still burning down
