Jimi

I took a walk on Friday, Day 5, while listening to an IPod full of all my old rock and rolls songs, transferred from analog records several years ago.  I shit you not this song from Jimi Hendrix came on.  Can't get it out of my head.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red
Somebody's house is burnin' down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down.

Well, I asked my friend where is that black smoke comin' from?
He just coughed and changed the subject and 
said oh I think it might snow some.
So I left him sippin' his tea an' I jumped in my chariot
And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time.

Sisters and brothers, daddys, mothers standin' 'round cryin'
When I reached the scene the flames were makin' a ghostly whine.
So I stood on my horse's back an' I screamed without a crack
I say oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down?
