Burnt By The Sun Lyrics by David Byrne

Burnt By The Sun Lyrics

    The words of love are not enough
    Though sweet as wine, as thick as blood
    Passionless moments and we are homeless
    Out on the street

    But life is cool and things aren't bad
    Got what he wants, lost what he had
    He's soon adjusted and got accustomed to these new ways

    Blame god, how can you loose
    Singing such sweet rhythm and blues
    Strange days, she said to me
    Being in love don't mean you're free

    But night reveals what daytime hides
    Who lingers on, who sleeps outside
    The soft seduction, the strong attraction
    Somewhere downtown

    A junkie's song, a dancer's knees
    The laws of chance strange as it seems
    Take us exactly where we most likely need to be

    A junkie's song, a dancer's knees
    The laws of chance strange as it seems
    Take us exactly where we most likely need to be
