Burning Lights (from "I Hired a Contract Killer") Songtext
von Joe Strummer

Some dreams are made for children
But most grow old with us
And when the air can hope to hold on
And to the ground from dust to rust.

Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they′re out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know


And I've been a long haul driver
Moving things but the cops don′t know
Now I can see the writing
You are the last of the buffalo

Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know.

Now I've been to California
And I′ve been to New South Wales
Sometimes I, I pull over
When I realise I′ve left no trace


Burning lights in the desert
Such a sign only you would know
Your running tyres, they're out of pressure
Such a sign only you would know.
