lyrics

Burning Wind

Wouldn't it be sweet, if it all were true?
Would it make your day a little less blue?
If you knew there was a keeper
and a hundred foot wall, round the city zoo

Do you sleep at night, with one eye open?
For fear the locks on the door could be broken
Do you leave the light on all night
in case they break in to take your tokens?

You can build it to the sky
and pile barbed wire on it a hundred feet high
But you cannot stop the burning wind
When it begins to dry your eyes

Do we curse ourselves, by swearing others
are to blame for all the circling buzzards?
Will we repeat textbook history
until we reach the final cover?

You can build it to the sky
and pile barbed wire on it a hundred feet high
But you cannot stop the burning wind
When it begins to dry your eyes
You cannot stop the burning wind
When it begins to dry your eyes
When it begins to dry your eyes
When it begins to dry your eyes
