Our house is on fire - And the baby’s on the roof –
No one would believe me - But baby, I got proof
The stars keep shinin’ – Don’t mean no thing to me
The sky has folded up and said he’s gonna leave,    

Our house is on fire - And the baby’s on the roof –
No one would believe me - But baby, I got proof
The four winds keep howlin’, tellin’ us the tale
Everyone’s deep pockets, everyone’s for sale

Our house is on fire - And the baby’s on the roof –
No one would believe me - But baby, I got proof
Takin’ what we need, and then a whole lot more
Mother earth’s done waitin’, She’ll be settlin’ that score

An ekphrastic/musical response to:

Our House is on Fire by hummbuzz
