Something's Burning, Baby Lyrics


Something is burnin' baby, are you aware?
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 is turnin' blind?You've been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while
The truth that I'm seeking is in you missing file
What's your position baby, what's going on?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?I know everything about this place, or so it seems
Or am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Well, it is so obvious that somethin' has changed
What's happenin' baby, to make you act so strange?Something is burnin' baby, here's what I say
Even the bloodhounds of London couldn't find you today
I see the shadow of a man baby, making you blue
Who is he baby, and what's he to you?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?I can feel it in the night, in the night, in the night when I think of you
(Ooo ooo)
I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light and it's got to be true

(Ooo ooo)
You can't live by bread alone, you won't be satisfied
You can't roll away the stone if your hands are tiedGot 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?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
And it ain't what you deserveSomething is burnin' baby, something's in flames
There's a man going 'round callin' names
Ring down when you're ready baby, I'm waiting for you
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Ooh ooo ooh ooh ooo
Ooh ooo ooh ooh ooo

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.

Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 and much of his best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His song "Like a Rolling Stone", released in July of 1965, was named "The Greatest Song of All Time" by Rolling Stone magazine in 2004, placing #1 in a list of 500 titles. Dylan remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2009's Together Through Life, reached #1 on the charts in the US, Britain, France and several other countries.

Bob Dylan's strong influence over the past few years is becoming even more prominent amongst a growing group of younger emerging artists such as George Ellias, and Devendra Banhart.

Dylan's early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, Dylan has shown steadfast devotion to traditions of American song, from folk and country/blues to rock and roll and rockabilly, to Gaelic balladry, even jazz, swing and broadway.

After becoming a Christian, Dylan explored themes of faith, redemption and love while mining the gospel vein. In a few years he found an equilibrium. His last albums can be seen as new highlights in his important career.

Dylan performs with the guitar, keyboard and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s. He has also recently performed alongside other iconic artists, such as Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Tom Petty and Eric Clapton. Although his contributions as a performer and recording artist have been central to his career, his songwriting is generally held as his highest accomplishment.
