Band of Blacky Ranchette ROOF'S ON FIRE Woke up this morning It felt like dawn Looked out of my window And I was wrong Ran to work To hear the plowman say . . . "Everything's in a bad way" As I'm going out the door With my final pay My roof's on fire There go my dreams And everything it seems I look up My good friend (number two) But he's got something Better he has to do I look me up My good girl (number one) But she got a new man To get the old job done So I resort to family . . . But they don't remember me So I'm walking home All alone Feeling like my lunch Has just been ate I look up And see a glow in the sky And I know I'm too late My whole world's burning Down My roof's on fire . . . My roof's on fire There go my dreams And everything it seems Howe Gelb "ROOF'S ON FIRE" appears on the following albums:- "Heartland" "Sage Advice" CD Only
