The wind picked up, the fire spread
The grapevine singing, left for dead
The northern sky looked like the end of days, end of days
The wake up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us it's only a matter of time
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughter's school and we picked her up
Drove to the cemetery on a hill, on a hill
Watched the bullets paint the sky gray
She laughed and danced through the field of graves
There I knew we'd be alright
Everything will be alright
Will be alright
Will be alright
Will be alright
News reports on the radio said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames
But I couldn't think of anywhere I would've rather been
To watch it all burn away, to burn away
The firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers for rain on their lips
They knew it was only a matter of time

"We watched the PLUMES paint the sky gray, as she laughed and danced through the field of graves, there I knew we'd be alright, THAT everything will be alright" There's a lot of words omitted, but they aren't vital to the meaning of the song like plumes is. Bullets makes no sense anyways.

good song

When the wind picked up, the fire spread/ and the grapevines seemed left for dead/ and the northern sky looked like the end of days/ a wakeup call to rented room/ sounded like an alarm of impending doom...

These lyrics are ever so wrong. They need to be fixed immediately!

No, they are correct to the lyrics in the liner notes and what is being said in the song(if you are listening to the cd version that acompanies the liner notes). but there are other parts that are incorrect. the problem is that the lyrics in the liner notes differ slightly from what they sing on the cd. This is rather common.

it's "the grapevines seemed left for dead", "she laughed and danced through the field of graves".plz buy the CD and look at the lyrics!
