Horns by Gossip Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard it from a little bird
Who gave me permission
The smartest words I've ever heard
That the beat goes on

[Pre-Chorus]
Some girls, they need proof
A real rude awakening
To chase the dogs away
And live to fight another day

[Chorus]
'Cause the beat goes on
When the fire's gone

[Verse 2]
Oh, anything can sound absurd
Depends on how you say it
As long as you have the first word
The rest is what you make it
[Pre-Chorus]
Some boys don't mean to
A real rude awakening
They know not what they say
So chase the dogs away

[Chorus]
Because the beat goes on (Yes it does, oh, yes it does)
When the fire's gone (When the fire's gone, you know)
When the lights go down (When the lights go down, go down)
And the fun's died out (Ooh-ooh)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I heard it from a little bird
Who gave me permission
The smartest words I've ever heard
That the beat goes on

[Pre-Chorus]
Some boys don't mean to
A real rude awakening
They know not what they say
So chase the dogs away
[Chorus]
Because the beat goes on (Yes it does, oh, yes it does)
When the fire's gone (When the fire's gone, you know)
When the lights go down (When the lights go down, go down)
And the fun's died out (Ooh-ooh)
