Burnt by the Sun |
| Atom-smashers in the cocktail lounge tonight |
| Opera singers in the graveyard keeping time |
| And the DJ mixes them all |
| And the music rhymes but it crawls |
| And the music comes from hydrogen bombs |
| Rock bands died when amateurs won |
| Data in a hurry, using the new rubble |
| Wipe it up baby, gonna get yourself in trouble |
| We were burnt by the sun |
| Having way too much fun |
| Sleepless downtown overload |
| Does the daylight bring you down? |
| Money pours down and it drowns the little man |
| Parking lot attendants stuff their pockets with their hands |
| And the children laugh in your face |
| They can see what you have erased |
| When dogs make love they don’t look at themselves |
| Checking out each other by the way that they smell |
| Rubbing and a’scratching, itching all the time |
| Stop me if I talk too much, do another line |
| We were burnt by the sun |
| Having way too much fun |
| The church of private enterprise |
| Did the daylight bring you down? |
| I love salt, I love sweets |
| I know there’s danger but I fall asleep |
| The curves, the gasps, the love of life |
| Headlines, gum box, faceless paradise |
| Life rafts bobbing at the bottom of the pier |
| Wood burns faster if it’s soaked in gasoline |
| All these towns look the same, everybody’s clean |
| Roll 'em out, cheap and fast, kiss me when I fall |
| We were burnt by the sun |
| Having way too much fun |
| Sleepless downtown overload |
| Did I stay outside too long? |
| Alcohol, razor-blades |
| All the clouds are miles away |
| Take me down, far away |
| Everyone’s on holiday |
| Alcohol, razor-blades |
| All the clouds are miles away |
| Take me now, fly away |
| Everyone’s on holiday |
| All the clouds are miles away |
| All the clouds are miles away |
| Everyone’s on holiday |
| Everyone’s on holiday |
| Everyone’s on holiday |
| Everyone’s on holiday |
| Everyone’s on holiday |
