Good news for beautiful people
Watching the world go by
Make love in the middle of a warzone
Hey, ya never gonna die

Don't rock the boat, keep your head down
Just another fool in the crowd
Everybody knows, you can be a winner
Cmon, shout it out loud

On the fat of the land I been living
Now it's only a matter of time
Sooner or later, you open your eyes
And return to the scene of the crime

Dig deep at the top of the heap
Now you've bitten off the hand that feeds you
You got nothin' but your soul to sell
You got nothin'

When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one last time

When the river runs dry
You got the power I got the money
Another million miles to run
I'd cry, cry for the future

But I wouldn't get anything done
Relax, abandon ship
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Blind luck, destiny, do me a favour

When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one more time

When the river runs.. dry
Good news for beautiful people
Watching the world go by
Make love in the middle of a war zone

All of God's children
Never gonna die
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry

Salvation will rain on you one more time
When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry

Salvation will rain on you one more time
When the river runs
I'm going home to where the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one more time

It's only a matter of time
Only a matter of time
When the river runs dry

Hey everybody - can't you hear me call?
I'm standing in a the street inside a fireball
Tomorrow's in the future - death is in the cradle
We're all day dreaming at the breakfast table

Down Main Street with the dust in my lungs
The blisters on my shoulder - the end has just begun
I'm swimming in the heat when the rads his my tongue
The remnants of my children are having too much fun

Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball
There's a big copper digger in the middle of town
The birds are on his head - the rags are hanging down

The grip on the grenade in his broken hand
As loose as the union's on the hot red sand
Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball

"We will not die and it is no crime
Ya take the whole world upon ya shoulder
For the very last time"
Well I blasted my way through the barrier range

I ripped up the ground but nothing has changed
Bromide, sulphide, oxide, slag
We're cleaning out the can with an oily rag
I'll live on the dole or I'll die in the dust

If they turn up the shift then strike we must
The company's here but the money's all gone
But I'm still digging, I'm still strong!
Inside a fireball

Inside a fireball
Hey everybody, can't ya hear me call?
I'm standing in the street inside a fireball
Tomorrow's in the future - death is in the cradle

You're all chin waggin' around the conference table
Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball
We, we will not die

And it is, it is no crime
You take the whole world upon your shoulders
For the very last, for the very last time
Ooh

I've been hearing round the town
You've been out and getting round
Whether it's right or whether it's true
I'm stuck here and I'm stuck on you
Oh no, I heard you talk in your sleep
You keep your head down and you stare at your feet
You won't look up, but you won't look away
You give the same answers no matter what I say
No matter what I say
I've been hearing round the town
You've been out and messing round
Whether it's right or whether it's true,
I'm stuck here and I'm stuck on you.
Oh no, I heard you talk in your sleep
You keep your head down and you stare at your feet.
You won't look up, but you won't look away
You give the same answers no matter what I say
No matter what I say
No matter what I say
I've been hearing round the town

I was looking to see some dreams drip from your fingers
I was working in that lonely place where memory lingers
If there were words, if there was hair that I could drag you back with
If there was one single little hook that I could break your back with
Here we go
Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows
It's somewhere down there between daytime and the dark
And I'm gonna sweat beneath the light of a warm world
Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?

Down there in that cavern where heaven grows
Out here in the street, naked in front of God and everyone
I'm beginning to see daylight yawning down there
And I'm just sitting here waiting for things to come
Cram that page baby, you know I'm marvellous
You think I'm sweating like this just for fun?
And hey I know it's true but I just can't say it
(Say it, say it)
Hey I know it's true but I just can't say it
(Say it, say it)
All right, all right!
Just.... one..... touch
And everything will be all right
Just.... one..... touch
And everything will be all right

Well just the other night I come home
After three months of constant grind and travel
And I went sniveling
I went crawling around to my girlfriend's house

And she came down hard upon me
And she ground her finger into my breastbone
And she said
She said: "You don't make me feel... like I'm a woman... anymore

And you don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more
You don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more
And I know
I know it's been a long time

Seems like it's been go-ing on forever
And my heart
My heart is beating
Too big

It's beating too big for the space that's meant to hold it
So good-night
Goodnight my little lovely
As we turn

As we turn down the lights
Say good-bye
Goodbye to the naked truth
Your skin is looking weary

And your eyes are closing down on the day
I know, I know it's been a long time
Seems like it's been going on forever
But just as black is white

Yeah and just as night is day
The light is going to leave you
And you're gonna fade away
So goodnight, goodbye my lovely

As we turn, as we turn down the lights
Say goodnight, goodnight to the naked truth
Your skin is looking weary
And your eyes are closing down on the day
