Aja (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up on the hill, people never stare
They just don't care

[Chorus]
Chinese music under banyan trees
Here at the dude ranch above the sea
Aja, when all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

[Verse 2]
Up on the hill, they've got time to burn
There's no return

[Chorus]
Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware, let's do it right
Aja, when all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

[Verse 3]
Up on the hill, they think I'm okay
Or so they say

[Chorus]
Chinese music always sets me free
Angular banjos sound good to mе
Aja, when all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
