Indiana rain house down

In the end, the rain comes down.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Garf

My wife heard this song when living in Europe and swore up and down it was 'Indiana rain house down'. The lyrics in the cassette case (hey, it was the 80's) solved it for us.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Beds Are Burning"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep when our beds are burning?
Why They're Nonsensical:
Um, well, first of all, if you're going to wait for the earth to stop turning to dance, you're going to have a long wait. And secondly, if your bed is on fire and all you're worried about is how you're going to sleep in it, you need to re-evaluate your priorities.
