Aja

Up on the hill
People never stare
They just dont care
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
Up on the hill
They've got time to burn
There's no return
Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware
Lets do it right
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you
Up on the hill
They think I'm OK
Or so they say
Chinese music always sets me free
Angular banjoes
Sound good to me
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you
