Burnin' The Iceberg lyrics
I think I saw you polishing brass
Why don’t you lock you old ideas away
In steel boxes with locks and chains?
Go on and him them away with family jewels and ugly paintings
We are the iceberg
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You are… you are not unsinkable
[Spoken:]
I’m serious as a heart attack,
the bands gonna play their last song tonight
and I say that’s all right
Have you been hanging painting in office halls…
Wearing trails in shopping malls?
While we’ve been crashing on strangers floors…
Starting wars with power chords
We are the iceberg
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You are… you are not unsinkable
Rearranging chairs on decks of a sinking ship
I think I saw you polishing brass
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are…
We are the iceberg
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You are… you are not unsinkable
I think I saw you polishing brass
Why don’t you lock you old ideas away
