On the studio recording, the song just
fades out. On the version found on the
"Under One Roof" DVD , they finish on
the G bar chord.
LRYICS
Beauty and the beast
Have polished off their feast
They're living on the edge
They're off their heads and on my mind
They're taking off their clothes
For perfect life they chose
Into the emptiness
The gods could not care less
Long live the land down under
Foaming heads and gutless thunder
Killing time has come
For creatures on the run
Getting wasted in the sun
Each and everyone
Slightly overdone
And we are wasted in the sun
I watch the dinosaurs
They manicure their claws
Who knows where they've been
They've lived and lost
The wishful wicked years
They cry but there's no tears
The weak must feed the strong
They know where they belong
I watch the boys go down
The sinking ship is leaving town tonight
Killing time has come
For creatures on the run
Getting wasted in the sun
Each and everyone
Slightly overdone
And we are wasted in the sun
Sun
We live and die like flies
Under perfect skies
The pleasure zone is stung
The trap is almost sprung
Did you feel that you've been cheated?
Ignorance is undefeated
Killing time has come
For creatures on the run
Getting wasted in the sun
Each and everyone
Slightly overdone
And we are wasted in the sun
[repeat]
Sun sun sun
Wasted in the sun
[repeat to fade]
