Close To The Fires Lyrics - The Samples

The blue skies are turning brown 

And trees fall without a sound 

Jets crashing through the sky 

The big sun is burning high 

The oceans are turning black 

Tuna nets and dolphin traps 

Oil spills near garbage barge 

It's dumping needles and hospital jars 

But close to the fires, and under a trance 

The Indians sang and said with their dance 

To take what you need and leave the rest 

To take what you need and leave it alone 

The landscape is full of holes 

For private business or personal goals 

Nevada's testing the nuclear sin 

Designing wars that no one could win 

The karma debts are out of control 

They're bathing me inside my soul 

Beauty pageants with glamorous furs 

Can you believe what they once were? 

But close to the fires, and under a trance 

The Indians sang, and said with their dance 

To take what you need and leave the rest 

To take what you need and leave it alone 

The blue skies are turning brown 

The blue skies are turning brown 

Our blue skies are turning brown 

Our blue skies are turning brown
