Burn through the day
And all the night
Wait for the dawn
'Til the world's put right
Burn every night
And all the days
Until the dawn
Blows your ash away
(Burn, burn , burn ...)
Burn through the days
'Til the Sun sets
Nothing will burn
Your Special FX
Burn all the nights
'Til New Day dawns
Weed killer dance
On the White House lawn
Not again, not again
Not again, again, again, again ...
Burn All Night

Re: Burn All Night
Burn All Night
Berkeley Social Scene
You don’t have to say anything, not anything at all
A caress of your hand over mine leaves me so enthralled
Which way you turn and which you move
If this is happening let me keep my cool
If we add just a little fuel we can make this burn all night
Basking in the glow of it all as we try to get it right
With a little appreciation we can keep this flame alight
If we add just a little fuel we can burn, burn, burn all night
I used to dream I would die, running out of breath
Hunched over, gasping for air, envisioning my death
Which way I turned, which way I moved
Overwhelmed by the size of the world, nothing I could do
If we add just a little fuel we can make this burn all night
Basking in the glow of it all as we try to get it right
With a little appreciation we can keep this flame alight
If we add just a little fuel we can burn, burn, burn all night
You often can’t see the way that things should be
for the way that they are
You don’t have to say anything, not anything at all
A little warmth from your touch makes my guards just fall
Which way you turn and which way you move
And the way this is happening, I don't have to prove
If we add just a little fuel we can make this burn all night
Basking in the glow of it all as we try to get it right
With a little appreciation we can keep this flame alight
If we add just a little fuel we can burn, burn, burn all night

Re: Burn All Night
Burn All Night
The Quincy Boggers
Tossed upon the swells and lashed by the spray
It's been 6,000 miles and a lifetime away
And none of us know from dawning to gloam
If we'll ever get back to our home
We're going to build a fire
After the ships put in
And let them burn all night
'Cause we're never going back again
Sailed away to find our glory foretold
And to measure our fortune in rubies and gold
But the power and wealth have gone to his head
And we measure in corpses instead
We're going to build a fire
After the ships put in
And let them burn all night
'Cause we're never going back again
After all is done, we count up our haul
And we find we are wealthy with gold, one and all
With a quarter million killed by 25 score
And 11 ships burned on the shore
We're going to build a fire
After the ships put in
But whether they burn all night
There’s no going back again
No, we're never going back again
