[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
The landscape is full of holеs
For private business or personal goals
Nеvada'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?
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Outro]
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
