Gossip - Horns lyrics

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, they need proof A real rude awakening To chase the dogs away To live and fight another day 'Cause the beat goes on When the 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 The real rude awakening They know now what they say So chase the dogs away Because the beat goes on (yes it does, yes it does) When the fire's gone (when the fire's gone, you know) When the lights go down (when the lights go down, go down) And the fun's died out (oo) 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 now what they say So chase the dogs away Because the beat goes on (yes it does, yes it does) When the fire's gone (when the fire's gone, you know) When the lights go down (when the lights go down, go down) And the fun's died out (oo)
