Something is the matter baby there’s smoke in your hair Are you still my friend baby show me a sign Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?              [Verse 2] You’ve been avoiding the main streets for a long long while The truth that I’m seeking is in your missing file What’s your position baby what’s going on? Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?             [Verse 3] I know everything about this place or so it seems Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams? Well it is so obvious that something has changed What’s happening baby to make you act so strange? [Verse 4] Something is burning baby here’s what I say Even the bloodhounds of London couldn’t find you today I see the shadow of a man baby makin’ you blue Who is he baby and what’s he to you? [Verse 5] We’ve reached the edge of the road baby where the pasture begins Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins But where do you live baby and where is the light? Why are your eyes just staring off in the night? [Verse 6] I can feel it in the night in the night in the night when I think of you I can feel it in the light in the light in the light and it’s got to be true You can’t live by bread alone you won’t be satisfied You can’t roll away the stone if your hands are tied                [Verse 7] Got to start someplace baby can you explain? Please don’t fade away on me baby like the midnight train Answer me baby a casual look will do Just what in the world has come over you?                      [Verse 8] I can feel it in the wind in the wind in the wind and it’s upside down I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town I’ve had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve I don’t wanna see you bleed I know what you need but it ain’t what you deserve [Verse 9] Something is burning baby something’s in flames There’s a man going ’round ... calling names Ring down when you’re ready baby I’m waiting for you I believe in the impossible you know that I do [Coda] Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
