[00:13.51] Atom smashers in the cocktail lounge tonight
[00:18.02] Op'ra singers in the graveyard keeping time
[00:21.17] & the DJ mixes them all
[00:25.20] & the Music rhymes but it crawls...
[00:29.03] & the music comes from Hydrogen bombs
[00:33.07] Rock bands died when amateurs won
[00:37.12] Data in a hurry, oozing in the rubble
[00:40.84] Wipe it up baby, gonna get yourself in trouble
[00:44.54] Chorus: We were burnt by the sun
[00:48.36] Havin' way too much fun
[00:52.82] Sleepless downtown overload
[00:56.31] Does the daylight bring you down?
[01:08.41] Money pours down and it drowns the little man
[01:12.00] Parking lot attendants stuff their pockets with their hands
[01:15.94] & the children laugh in your face
[01:19.75] They can see what you have erased
[01:23.79] When dogs make love they don't look at themselves
[01:27.82] Checkin' out each other by the way that they smell
[01:31.88] Rubbin' & a scratchin', itchin' all the time
[01:35.81] Stop me if I talk too much, do another line
[01:39.31] Chorus: We were burnt by the sun
[01:43.01] Havin' way too much fun
[01:47.49] The Church of Private Enterprise
[01:50.99] Did the sunshine bring you down?
[01:56.11]
[02:00.19] Razor blades
[02:11.61] I love salt, I love sweets
[02:15.00] I know there's danger but I fall asleep
[02:18.92] The curves, the gasps, the love of life
[02:22.74] Headline, gum box, faceless paradise
[02:25.60]
[02:26.75] Life rafts bobbin' at the bottom of the pier
[02:30.68] Wood burns faster if it's soaked in gasoline
[02:34.63] All these towns look the same , ev'ry body?s clean
[02:38.12] Roll 'em out, cheap and fast, kiss me when I fall...
[02:42.65] Chorus: We were burnt by the sun
[02:46.04] Havin' way too much fun
[02:50.83] Sleepless downtown overload
[02:54.55] Did I stay outside too long?
[02:58.90]
[03:06.67] Alcohol
[03:08.51] Razor blades
[03:10.47] All the clouds are miles away
[03:14.07] Take me now
[03:16.06] Fly away
[03:18.35] Ev'ry one's on holiday
[03:22.37] Alcohol
[03:24.22] Razor blades
[03:26.40] All the clouds are miles away
[03:30.11] Take me now
[03:32.08] Fly away
[03:34.14] Ev'ry one's on holiday
[03:38.24] All the clouds are miles away
[03:42.18] All the clouds are miles away
[03:46.22] Ev'ry one's on holiday
[03:50.02] Ev'ry one's on holiday
[03:54.06] Ev'ry one's on holiday
[03:57.89] Ev'ry one's on holiday
[04:01.93] Ev'ry one's on holiday
[04:05.86] Ev'ry one's on holiday
