David Byrne - Burnt By The Sun Lyrics
Atom-smashers in the *****tail lounge tonightOpera singers in the graveyard keeping timeAnd the dj mixes them allAnd the music rhymes but it crawlsAnd the music comes from hydrogen bombsRock bands died when amateurs wonData in a hurry, using the new rubbleWipe it up baby, gonna get yourself in troubleWe were burnt by the sunHaving way too much funSleepless downtown overloadDoes the daylight bring you down?Money pours down and it drowns the little manParking lot attendants stuff their pockets with their handsAnd the children laugh in your faceThey can see what you have erasedWhen dogs make love they dont look at themselvesChecking out each other by the way that they smellRubbing and ascratching, itching all the timeStop me if I talk too much, do another lineWe were burnt by the sunHaving way too much funThe church of private enterpriseDid the daylight bring you down?I love salt, I love sweetsI know theres danger but I fall asleepThe curves, the gasps, the love of lifeHeadlines, gum box, faceless paradiseLife rafts bobbing at the bottom of the pierWood burns faster if its soaked in gasolineAll these towns look the same, everybodys cleanRoll em out, cheap and fast, kiss me when I fallWe were burnt by the sunHaving way too much funSleepless downtown overloadDid I stay outside too long?Alcohol, razor-bladesAll the clouds are miles awayTake me down, far awayEveryones on holidayAlcohol, razor-bladesAll the clouds are miles awayTake me now, fly awayEveryones on holidayAll the clouds are miles awayAll the clouds are miles awayEveryones on holidayEveryones on holidayEveryones on holidayEveryones on holidayEveryones on holidayEveryones on holiday
