Corey Cyr - Burning The Midnight Oil lyrics

It's been another long night So here's another song i just had to write Another tune for you to hum For today, tomorrow, and years to come. And before soon You'll hear my tune Hummin' through the coils of the wind, Like sitting on a fence It doesn't make sense I've been burning the midnight oil once again This song's about giving love To those around you and god above Forget the ones who smell the smell Of the fiery pits of the depths of hell I wrote these rhymes For the happier times Where we can chant and sing I wrote these words As the world turns I've been burning the midnight oil once again This song is about selfish greed The kind that consumes you and me Forget the ones who feel the need To get their wants by any means For those on their way To the golden gate Where St. Peter'll be a waitin' I don't even know It just goes to show I've been burning the midnight oil once again This song's about spreading peace All over the world, all over the streets So please spread all these words All I've said and all you've heard I wrote this song For the dead and gone And those who've gone insane Nah, I'm only playin' I don't even know what I'm sayin' I've been burning the midnight oil once again
