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 are dolphin traps Oil spills near a garbage barge It´s dumping needles and hospital jars
Close to the fires, and under a trance The firemen came to save us again 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 (close to the fires)
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 firemen came to save us again 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 (close to the fires)
Lately i´ve been tryna hide The flames burn so damn high Cover my face, so I stay strong Walk with chin up and stand up tall Nothing can hurt us Until we´re, close to the fire
But close to the fires, and under a trance The firemen came to save us again
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 (close to the fires)
Oh no, Oh no Were getting close to the fires Oh no, Oh no Were getting close to the fires Oh no, oh no, no
