Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Beds Are Burning"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep when our beds are burning? Why They're Nonsensical: Um, well, first of all, if you're going to wait for the earth to stop turning to dance, you're going to have a long wait. And secondly, if your bed is on fire and all you're worried about is how you're going to sleep in it, you need to re-evaluate your priorities.
