Beds Are Burning Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Out where the river broke

The bloodwood and the desert oak

Holden wrecks and boilin' diesels

Steam in forty-five degrees

[Pre-Chorus]

The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent, to pay our share

The time has come, a fact's a fact

It belongs to them, let's give it back

[Chorus]

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

[Post-Chorus]

The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent now, to pay our share

[Verse 2]

Four wheels scare the cockatoos

From Kintore, east to Yuendemu

The Western Desert lives and breathes

In forty-five degrees

[Pre-Chorus]

The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent, to pay our share

The time has come, a fact's a fact

It belongs to them, let's give it back

[Chorus]

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? (Turnin', turnin')

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

[Pre-Chorus]

The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent now, to pay our share

The time has come, a fact's a fact

It belongs to them, let's give it back

[Outro]

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? (Turnin', turnin')

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

Take a Chance on Me Lyrics

[Chorus]

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you got no place to go when you're feeling down

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance, take a chance)

(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Gonna do my very best, baby, can't you see?

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

[Post-Chorus]

Take a chance on me

That's all I ask of you honey

Take a chance on me

[Verse 1]

We can go dancing, we can go walking

As long as we're together (As long as we're together)

Listen to some music, maybe just talking

Get to know you better (Get to know you better)

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you know I've got

So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you

It's magic

You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair

But I think you know

That I can't let go

[Chorus]

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If you got no place to go when you're feeling down

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Gonna do my very best, baby, can't you see?

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

[Post-Chorus]

Take a chance on me

Come on, give me a break, will you?

Take a chance on me

[Verse 2]

Oh, you can take your time, baby, I'm in no hurry

Know I'm gonna get ya (Know I'm gonna get ya)

You don't wanna hurt me, baby, don't worry

I ain't gonna let you (I ain't gonna let ya)

[Pre-Chorus]

Let me tell you now

My love is strong enough to last when things are rough

It's magic

You say that I waste my time, but I can't get you off my mind

No, I can't let go

'Cause I love you so

[Chorus]

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you got no place to go when you're feeling down

(Take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance, take a chance)

(Take a chance, take a-take a chance-chance, take a chance, take a chance)

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me

Maniac Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night

Lookin' for the fight of her life

In the real-time world no one sees her at all

They all say she's crazy

Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart

Changing movement into light

She has danced into the danger zone

When the dancer becomes the dance

[Pre-Chorus]

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire

On a wire between will and what will be

[Chorus]

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And she's dancing like shе's never danced bеfore

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

[Verse 2]

On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never see

It's a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can't hold it

You work all your life for that

Moment in time, it could come or pass you by

It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance

If the hunger stays the night

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat

Never stopping with her head against the wind

[Chorus]

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

[Pre-Chorus]

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire

On a wire between will and what will be

[Chorus]

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

Maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

Just a Friend Lyrics

[Verse 1: Hyro The Hero]

Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date

But a year to make love she wanted you to wait?

Let me tell a story of my situation

I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation

The way that I met her was on tour, at a concert

She had long hair and a short miniskirt

I just got on stage, drippin', pourin' with sweat

I was walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met

I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth

So I can ask you some questions to see if ya hundred proof"

I asked her her name, she said: "Blah-blah-blah"

She had nine-ten pants and a very big bra

I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused

I said: "How do you like the show?" She said: "I was very amused"

I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range

But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange

Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man?", she tried to pretend

She said: "No, I don't, I only have a friend"

Come on

I'm not even goin' for it, this is what I'm goin' sing

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]

You, you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

And you say he's just a friend, oh baby

You got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend, oh baby

You got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

[Verse 2: Hyro The Hero]

So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time

I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime

'Cause I have friends and that's a fact

Like Awol, Issac, Davey, and Zach

Forget about that, let's go into the story

About a girl named "blah-blah-blah" that adored me

So we started talkin', gettin' familiar

Spendin' a lot of time, so we can build a

Relationship or some understanding

How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'

Everything sounded so dandy and sweet

I had no idea I was in for a treat

After this was established, everything was cool

The tour was over and she went back to school

I called every day to see how she was doin'

Every time that I called her, it seemed somethin' was brewin'

I called her room, a guy picked up, but then I called again

I say: "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"

Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that

Jus' bust this

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]

You, you got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

And you say he's just a friend, oh baby

You got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

But you say he's just a friend, oh baby

You got what I need

But you say he's just a friend

And you say he's just a friend

[Verse 3: Hyro The Hero]

So, I came to her college on a surprise visit

To see my girl, that was so exquisite

It was a school day, I knew she was there

The first semester of the school year

I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm

This guy made me fill out a visitor's form

He told me where it was and I was on my way

To see my baby doll, I was happy to say

I arrived in front of the dormitory

"Yo, could you tell me where is door three?"

They showed me where it was for the moment

I didn't know I was in for such an event

So, I came to her room and opened the door

Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?

A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in her mouth

I was so in shock, my heart went down south

So please, listen to the message that I send

Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend

Material Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1: Aaron Bruno & Taylor Hanson]

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me

I think they're okay

If they don't give me proper credit, I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead

But they can't see the light

'Cause the boy with cold hard cash is always Mister Right

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]

'Cause we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

[Verse 2: Aaron Bruno & Taylor Hanson]

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance

That's all right with me

If they can't raise my interest, then I have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie

But I don't let them play

Only boys that save their pennies make my rainy day

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]

'Cause we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

Living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

[Interlude: Aaron Bruno]

Living in a material world (-Terial)

Living in a material world

Living in a material world (-Terial)

Living in a material world

[Verse 3: Aaron Bruno & Taylor Hanson]

Boys may come and boys may go

And that's all right, you see

Experience has made me rich and now they're after me

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]

'Cause everybody's living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

Living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

[Outro: Aaron Bruno]

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world (-Terial)

Living in a material world

Living in a material world (-Terial)

Living in a material world

Living in a material world (-Terial)

Living in a material world

Living in a material world (-Terial)

Living in a material world

Wind of Change Lyrics

[Verse 1: Aaron Bruno & Brandon Boyd]

I follow the Moskva

Down to Gorky Park

Listening to the wind of change

An August summer night

Soldiers passing by

Listening to the wind of change

[Verse 2: John Gourley]

The world is closing in

And did you ever think

That we could be so close like brothers?

The future's in the air

I can feel it everywhere

Blowing with the wind of change

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)

In the wind of change

[Verse 3: Brandon Boyd & Aaron Bruno]

Walking down the street

And distant memories

Arе buried in the past forevеr

I follow the Moskva

Down to Gorky Park

Listening to the wind of change

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno, Brandon Boyd & John Gourley]

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (Share their dreams)

With you and me

Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment

On a glory night (Glory night)

Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)

In the wind of change

[Bridge: John Gourley & Brandon Boyd]

The wind of change blows straight

Into the face of time

Like a storm wind that will ring

The freedom bell for peace of mind

Let your balalaika sing

What my guitar wants to say, oh

[Chorus: Aaron Bruno, Brandon Boyd & John Gourley]

Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment

On a glory night (Glory night)

Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (Share their dreams)

With you and me (You and me)

Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment

On a glory night (Glory night)

Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)

In the wind of change

Flagpole Sitta Lyrics

[Verse 1: Elohim & Aaron Bruno]

I have visions, I was in them

I was looking into the mirror

To see a little bit clearer

The rottenness and evil in me (Okay)

Fingertips have memories

Mine can't forget the curves of your body

And when I feel a bit naughty

I run ’em up the flagpole and see

Who salutes, but no one ever does

[Chorus: Elohim]

I, I'm not sick, but I'm not well

Yeah, I’m so hot 'cause I'm in hell

[Verse 2: Elohim & Aaron Bruno]

Been around the world and found

That only stupid people are breeding

The cretins cloning and feeding

And I don't even own a TV (Okay)

Put me in the hospital for nerves

And then they had to commit me

You told them all I was crazy

They cut off my legs, now I'm the amputee

Goddamn you

[Chorus: Elohim & Aaron Bruno]

I, I'm not sick, but I'm not well

Yeah, I'm so hot ’cause I’m in hell

I, I'm not sick, but I’m not well

And it's a sin to live so well (Okay)

[Verse 3: Aaron Bruno]

I wanna publish 'zines

And rage against machines

I wanna pierce my tongue

It doesn't hurt, it feels fine

The trivial sublime

I’d like to turn off time

And kill my mind

You kill my mind

[Verse 4: Elohim & Aaron Bruno]

Paranoia, paranoia

Everybody's coming to get me

Just say you never met me

I'm going underground with the moles, digging holes

Hear the voices in my head

I swear to God, it sounds like they're snoring

But if you're bored, then you're boring

The agony and the irony, they're killing me

[Chorus: Elohim & Aaron Bruno]

I, I'm not sick, but I'm not well

Yeah, I'm so hot 'cause I'm in hell

I, I'm not sick, but I'm not well

And it's a sin to live so well

One, two, three, four

Alone Again (Naturally) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In a little while from now

If I'm not feeling any less sour

I promised myself to treat myself

And visit a nearby tower

And climbing to the top

Will throw myself off

In an effort to make it clear to whoever

What it's like when you're shattered

Left standing in the lurch, at a church

Where people saying

"My God that's tough, she stood him up"

"No point in us remaining"

"May as well go home"

As I did on my own

[Refrain]

Alone again, naturally

[Verse 2]

To think that only yesterday

I was cheerful, bright and gay

Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do

The role I was about to play (Oh yeah)

But as if to knock me down (Knock me down)

Reality came around (Came around)

And without so much as a mеre touch

Cut me into little piеces

Leaving me to doubt

Talk about God and His mercy

For if He really does exist

Why did He desert me

In my hour of need

I truly am indeed

[Refrain]

Alone again, naturally (Naturally)

[Bridge]

It seems to me, that there are more hearts broken in the world that can't be mended

Left unattended

What do we do?

[Refrain]

Alone again, naturally (Naturally)

[Verse 3]

Looking back over the years (Looking back over the years)

And whatever else that appears

I remember I cried when my father died

Never wishing to hide the tears (Hide the tears)

And at sixty-five years old (Five years old)

My mother, God rest her soul (Rest her soul)

Couldn't understand, why the only man

She had ever loved had been taken

Leaving her to start with a heart

So badly broken

Despite encouragement from me

No words were ever spoken

And when she passed away

I cried and cried all day

[Refrain]

Alone again, naturally

Alone again, naturally (Naturally)
