We went rolling up the coast
Then there was no more coast to wander
We tried every different road
Just to see which took us further

We were living on the run
Though there was no one chasing after
We were looking out for love
And we were flirting with disaster

While the world fades out

We stayed in the sun too long
Suffered a terrible burn
Now everybody learns from disaster

We stayed on the run too long
Hoping we'd never return
Now everybody learns from disaster

We watched the sun burn down into cinders

We turned out into the plains
And turned in when we got tired
We slept two across the bench
And we fit three under the covers
We had just enough cash left
To top the tank and fill the cooler
And we lit the van with dreams
After the sun burned into cinders

And the world fades out

We stayed in the sun too long
Suffered a terrible burn
Now everybody learns from disaster

We stayed on the run too long
Hoping we'd never return
Now everybody learns from disaster

We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders, into cinders
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders

We stayed in the sun too long
Suffered a terrible burn
Now everybody learns from disaster

We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders, into cinders
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders
