Horns

I heard it from a little bird

Who gave me permission

The smartest words I've ever heard

That the beat goes on



Some girls, we need proof

A real rude awakening

To chase the dogs away

And live to fight another day

Cause the beat goes on

When our fire's gone



Oh anything can sound absurd

Depends on how you say it

As long as you have the first word

The rest is what you make it



Some boys don't mean to

A real rude awakening

They know not what they say

So chase the dogs away

Because the beat goes on, yes it does, oh yes it does

When the fire's gone, when the fire's burning out

And the lights go down, when the lights go down, go down

When the horns cry out



I heard it from a little bird

Who gave me permission

The smartest words I've ever heard

That the beats go on



Some boys don't mean to

A real rude awakening

They know not what they say

So chase the dogs away

Because the beat goes on, yes it does, oh yes it does

When the fire's gone, when the fire's burning out

And the lights go down, when the lights go down, go down

When the horns cry out
