Burnt By The Sun

Atom smashers in the cocktail lounge tonight

Op'ra singers in the graveyard keeping time

& the DJ mixes them all

& the Music rhymes but it crawls...

& the music comes from Hydrogen bombs

Rock bands died when amateurs won

Data in a hurry, oozing in the rubble

Wipe it up baby, gonna get yourself in trouble

Chorus: We were burnt by the sun

Havin' 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

& the children laugh in your face

They can see what you have erased

When dogs make love they don't look at themselves

Checkin' out each other by the way that they smell

Rubbin' & a scratchin', itchin' all the time

Stop me if I talk too much, do another line

Chorus: We were burnt by the sun

Havin' way too much fun

The Church of Private Enterprise

Did the sunshine 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

Headline, gum box, faceless paradise

Life rafts bobbin' at the bottom of the pier

Wood burns faster if it's soaked in gasoline

All these towns look the same , ev'ry body?s clean

Roll 'em out, cheap and fast, kiss me when I fall...

Chorus: We were burnt by the sun

Havin' way too much fun

Sleepless downtown overload

Did I stay outside too long?

Alcohol Take me now

Razor blades Fly away

All the clouds are miles away

Every one's on holiday
