Intro: C  
We went Crolling up the coast til 
C/Ethere was Fno more coast to wander
We tried Cevery different road 
C/Ejust to Fsee which took us further
We were Cliving on the run but

We were Clooking out for love and 
C/Ewe were Fflirting with disaster
While the Gworld fades out
Chorus:
We stayed in the Csun too long
Suffered a Fterrible burn
Now Geverybody learns from dFisaster
We stayed on the Crun too long
Hoping we'd Fnever return
Now Geverybody learns from dFisaster
We watched the Gsun burn
