Fire of Unknown Origin Songtext
von Patti Smith

Fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
Fire of unknown origin
Took my baby away
Swept her off my wavelength
Swallowed up like the ocean
In a fire, thick and gray


Death comes sweeping off the hallway
Like a ladies′ dress
Death comes riding on the hallway
In its Sunday best

Death comes driving
Death comes creeping
Death comes, I can't do nothing
Death goes there must be something, that remains
Death it made me sick and crazy
′Cause that fire took my baby away
