Burnt by the Sun David Byrne
[Intro]
Em C (x2)
[Verse 1]
[Em]Atom-smashers in the c[C]ocktail lounge tonight
[Em]Opera singers in the gr[C]aveyard keeping time
And the [Em]DJ mixes them [C]all
And the m[Em]usic rhymes but it cr[C]awls
And the m[Em]usic comes from h[C]ydrogen bombs
[Em]Rock bands died when [C]amateurs won
[Em]Data in a hurry, [C]using the new rubble
[Em]Wipe it up baby, gonna g[C]et yourself in trouble
[Cborus]
We were b[Bm]urnt by the s[Em]un
Having w[Bm]ay too much f[A]un
Sl[F]eepless d[G]owntown [C]overl[Am]oad
Does the [G#7]daylight bring you d[B7]own?
[Instrumental]
Em C (x2)
[Verse 2]
[Em]Money pours down and it dr[C]owns the little man
[Em]Parking lot attendants stuff their p[C]ockets with their hands
And the ch[Em]ildren laugh in your f[C]ace
They can s[Em]ee what you have er[C]ased
When d[Em]ogs make love they don't l[C]ook at themselves
[Em]Checking out each other by the w[C]ay that they smell
[Em]Rubbing and a'scratching, [C]itching all the time
[Em]Stop me if I talk too much, [C]do another line
[Cborus]
We were b[Bm]urnt by the s[Em]un
Having w[Bm]ay too much f[A]un
The ch[F]urch of pr[G]ivate [C]enterpr[Am]ise
Did the d[G#7]aylight bring you d[B7]own?
[Interlude]
Em C (x4)
[Verse 3]
[Em]I love salt,[C] I love sweets
[Em]I know there's danger but [C]I fall asleep
The c[Em]urves, the gasps, the l[C]ove of life
[Em]Headlines, gum box, f[C]aceless paradise
[Em]Life rafts bobbing at the b[C]ottom of the pier
[Em]Wood burns faster if it's s[C]oaked in gasoline
[Em]All these towns look the same, e[C]verybody's clean
[Em]Roll 'em out, cheap and fast, k[C]iss me when I fall
[Cborus]
We were b[Bm]urnt by the s[Em]un
Having w[Bm]ay too much f[A]un
Sl[F]eepless d[G]owntown [C]overl[Am]oad
Did I s[G#7]tay outside too l[B7]ong?
[Instrumental]
Em C (x2)
[Outro]
[Em]Alcohol, r[C]azor-blades
[Em]All the clouds are m[C]iles away
[Em]Take me down, f[C]ar away
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]Alcohol, r[C]azor-blades
[Em]All the clouds are m[C]iles away
[Em]Take me down, f[C]ar away
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]All the clouds are m[C]iles away
[Em]All the clouds are m[C]iles away
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]Everyone's on h[C]oliday
[Em]
