lyrics

Ladybug ladybug fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children will burn
Maybe some wiring was faulty and old
A spark from the heater left on for the cold

The flames left the kitchen and crept down the hall
Eating the photographs off of the wall
The smoke curled it's fingers up under the door
And tasted your children asleep on the floor

But the fire is not evil it has no designs
To murder your children and ruin your life
It lives for the moment consumed with desire
Returning it's lovers to earth and to sky

So ladybug ladybug something is wrong
Your house is in ashes your children are gone
Maybe they took to the wing and have flown
This life is uncertain their fate is unknown
