Are Things Still Burning

I can’t imagine life on earth now
I can’t imagine life on earth now
And I just want to know
Is my bedroom still there?
Is it still standing?
Is the tree I planted still there in the backyard?
I want to know, are things still burning?
Still burning
And I want to know are things still burning?
Still burning down
Burning down
Burning down
Burning down, down, down
I can picture my mother killing black widows with an old broom
And making all the neighbors laugh
I was laying blossoms when the sky went black
I want to know, are things still burning?
Still burning
I want to know, are things still burning?
Still burning down
Burning down
Burning down
Burning down, down, down
It’s cold, out there in the fortress
Prison cell, with bad lighting
And I want to know, are things still burning, or can I go home?
I want to know, are things still burning?
Still burning
I want to know, are things still burning?
Still burning down
