I used to cry whenever it was time to go to bed
I didn’t want to waste the nighttime that I still had left
I knew that 10pm was a million hours too soon
So I drank a wishing potion and wished upon the moon
I wished to never sleep and to be happy all the time
And I wished to live a thousand years so I’d be filled with life
Now when children cast a wish upon the moon, their wish comes true
So I have lived a thousand years and now I’m telling you
That everyone deserves a chance to choose the path ahead
And if you don’t like bedtimes, then just stay awake instead
Cause I’ve been awake a thousand years and what a life I’ve led
It’s amazing how much life you’ve got when you never rest your head
I’ll sleep when I’m dead!
I started out with 20 years of looking at the sky
And I splashed in every puddle that I found while running by
I spent 100 years just making friends with all the trees
And it thrilled me to no end to know that they would outlive me
I’ve made a million people friends, and though they’ve come and gone
Just to know that life is temporary helped me to move on
Though I don’t remember all my stories, I know I’ve done enough
Cause every road I’ve taken I have tried to fill with love
And if anyone would ask me why I tread the path I tread
I’d tell them life’s too beautiful to ever go to bed
And now I’ve spoke my mind a thousand years and left nothing unsaid
Cause in life you get one wish and mine’s to live with no regrets
I’ll sleep when I’m dead!
And now I lay here dying after life a thousand years
It’s been an awesome ride but now it’s time to disappear
So as I close my eyes don’t be afraid to say goodbye
But please don’t cry about me, try to smile and think of life
Now I hope you’ve learned your lesson, and forget me if you may
But don’t forget the joy that you can find along your way
Oh, I wanted to find happiness like a million dreamers do
And when children cast a wish upon the moon their wish comes true
Cause everyone deserves a chance to choose the path ahead
And if you don’t like bedtimes, then just stay awake instead
Cause I’ve been awake a thousand years and what a life I’ve led
It’s amazing how much life you’ve got when you never rest your head
So now I’ll sleep when I’m dead
I’ll sleep when I’m deeeeaadddd
I’ll sleep when I’m deeeeaadddd
I’ll sleep when I’m deeeeaadddd
I’ll go to sleep when I’m dead!

Sometimes
04:03
|
|||
|
Well sometimes
I wake up and I just don’t feel right
Like there’s a shadow on my whole life
But I went to bed so happy last night
And sometimes
I feel so foggy in my own mind
Like I’ve forgotten all the good times
I’m done with putting up a fight
I’ve never been the type to cry
But then I wonder why I can’t
I see the world running by
A million friends I’ll never have
Look out my window at the sky
Stare at the sun cause nothing’s real
I stop and stare and try to smile
Just to remember how it feels
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I wanna feel the way I should
Cause I know I could be good
But all that I can say
Is ohh, ohh, ohh
Till it goes away
Till it goes away
Now sometimes
Somebody sees me with my sad eyes
And they think they’ll fix it if they rationalize
They wanna prove that I’m okay
So sometimes
They try to tell me that I’m alright
But of course I know I'm alright
It’s just a sorrow kind of day
I could be happy all the time
But I cannot change the way I am
If I try putting on a smile
It ends up hurting me instead
I’ll be okay, just wait a while
I hope that you can understand
It all gets better over time
Don’t tell me lies just hold my hand
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I wanna feel the way I should
Cause I know I could be good
But all that I can say, oh
Is ohh, ohh, ohh
Till it goes away
Till it goes away
Till it goes away
Till it goes away

Oh I love you
Yes I do
And I’ll love you forever and ever if you want me to
Oh I’ll keep you
Next to me
Cause whenever you aren’t around I can hardly breathe
I crave
The sound of your name
And all of the ways
You’re always there for me
I say
Every day
That I’ll never stray
You are the only one I need
Oh these are the words that you said once to me
It’s too bad they are phrases that don’t mean anything
So when you told me
That I was yours
I hadn’t a reason to doubt so I came back for more
Then you kissed me
And you spoke the truth
Cause you told me you couldn’t believe that it was me and you
You‘d say that you’d always stay
But when I was away
You’d find another guy
Who’d play your every game
Always the same
Another apple to your eye
And endless "I’m sorries" can make someone bleed
Cause it’s too bad they are phrases that don’t mean anything
I’m sorry, I’ll fix this
Forgive me, my weakness
My kindness saves you every time
I love you, I need you
Just give me a redo
But when will things ever be fine?
You tell me you need me
So why do you leave me
You run around cheating on me
You tell me you want me
Then run after something
Some guy that I never could be
So when you come here
No matter when
You’ll never be trusted again
Oh, there was a time that you meant so much to me
But it’s too bad love's a feeling
That don’t mean anything

Standing in the Rain
05:12
|
|||

I saw a little boy out standing in the rain
The heavy droplets masquerading on his face
I asked him why he wasn’t home and warm and safe
But he just smiled at me and shrugged and stayed in place
I wasn’t sure just how to make him understand
So I reached out to him and tried to take his hand
I thought I’d save him from the storm as I had planned
But he just put his hand in mine and looked at me instead
And this is what he said
He told me that in life, some good things have to wait
And that the sun’ll come again another day
And though his mommy cries that life is filled with pain
Well that just has to be okay
So for now I’m standing in the rain
So I thought back to times when I was just a kid
To see if maybe this was how I once had lived
Accepting pain and heartbreak, that they do exist
But thinking back to then, I’m sure I never did
I don’t want sad and sorry winters by the phone
I don’t want lonely wasted nights spent on my own
I don’t want tear tracks leaving stains upon my coat
I just want happy sunshine everywhere I go
Ohh
And this is what I know
I know in life that you should push away the pain
Ignore the cloudy days and brush past all the gray
If you’re not smiling every second of the day
Then you are making a mistake
But that boy’s still standing in the rain
Then he sat down amidst the puddles
And splashed his hands in the dirty waters
He seemed so glad without an umbrella
Like he lived in a world with brighter colors
I had tried to help him see the light
That you should push away the pain cause it’s not right
But when I saw him laugh instead of hide
I cried cause he had changed my mind
Cause you know it might be true that life is filled with pain
But there’s no escaping it no matter how we stray
So if we just look at sadness in a different way
We’ll see it’s something to embrace
And so I took my coat off in the pouring rain
And we began to splash around and truly play
With covered shirtsleeves in a muddy sort of paint
Cause there’s color hidden in the gray
So you just gotta find the way
He told me that in life, some good things have to wait
And that the sun’ll come again another day
And though his mommy cries that life is filled with pain
Well that just has to be okay
Cause for now we’re standing in the rain

Crumbling Away
03:50
|
|||
|
I thought I saw you
At that party last night
And I wish that I’d said hi but I can’t do anything right
I was antisocializing trying to stay out of sight
So you know I ran away oh god I’m so damn uptight
I’m just a victim
Of my idiot brain
It says that I’m a total nobody
I’m boring and plain
Not a soul is gonna fall for anything that I say
But now holy crap I’m knocking on your door anyway
And I say I kinda got a crush on you I think you should know
And it’s crazy and it’s scary and I’m all on my own
Anyway if you don’t want to it’s okay to say no
Wait I’m sorry this is stupid I should prolly just go
If you could look into my mind
It’s scary to think what you might find
A million things I push away from sight
So don’t try to ask if I’m all right
It’s hard to think of words to say
With stupid thoughts always in my way
My ABC’s just fall to gray
As I’m mumbling stumbling crumbling… away
So I found you, now I’m shy around you
I’m losing my mind but I’m so lost without you
I’m tripping on my words it’s why I’m falling for you
But I’m slipping trying to follow through it’s all I can do
Looking for truth, kinda scary but I’m afraid on my own
Working on my loving but I think too much and I don’t
Try to fight it anyway you couldn’t possibly know
Couldn’t know wouldn’t go shouldn’t though
Would you try to work on sympathizing
I’m not womanizing I’m just humanizing
If I hadn’t wound up standing at your door
I wouldn’t talk to you again but now I’m obviously trying
I got a lot of songs I wanna sing, a symphony and you could bring
A tiny bit of happy in my world of pain
If I don’t grab my opportunity insanity’d win
But it is not a possibility, I’m hurting again
Talking is tricky with half my words missing
Throw my mind at this wall but nothing is sticking
As I try to unwind I just find it’s not fitting
I can’t talk to you now so goddammit I’m ditching
Gotta run, I’ll miss you a ton
Thanks for this talk it was so f***ing fun
I’m just gonna run from this world for a bit
I know for a fact I’m a son of a b****
I know for a fact I’m a son of a b****
And if I could go back I would shut down this s***
And I wouldn’t go up to you, wouldn’t do this
I’d just stay in my room in my ignorant bliss
If you could look into my mind
It’s scary to think what you might find
A million things I push away from sight
So don’t try to ask if I’m all right
It’s hard to think of words to say
With stupid thoughts always in my way
My ABC’s just fall to gray
As I’m mumbling stumbling crumbling away

Imaginary Friends
05:38
|
|||
|
When he was younger he had an imaginary friend
She was there when he was sad and always comforting him
Her name was Missy, and quickly there was no separating them
He knew together they’d write history, it was just a matter of when
They sat together at school, she was his only protection
From the millions of bullies come from every direction
They would tease him for believing in this “weirdo” connection
But Missy’d always speak to him, say their friendship was the best one
Imaginary imaginary friends
Imaginary imaginary friends
It had to be so scary, uncaring plans
Imaginary imaginary friends
When he was eight and in classes, barely listened to them talk
He’d find that lesson time passes at a melancholy crawl
They’d call his parents, call him terrible, no work ethic at all
But he knew the time was only bearable if he was staring at the wall
There were moments he was happy, where there were no long talks to hurdle
In art class, he and Missy spent hours painting flowers purple
He’d spend forevers together with his imaginary girl
Everything was so much better in his painted made-up worlds
Imaginary imaginary friends
Imaginary imaginary friends
With brushes in his hand he’d paint fairylands
Imaginary imaginary friends
He knew from the beginning that he didn’t fit the system
But when he was eleven, the truth finally hit him
If Santa was just a phantom, and the Tooth Fairy fiction
Then what made his Missy any different?
He’s fifteen now and in high school, and so much has changed
He’s growing out stubble, he’s forgotten her name
He wears baseball caps and fakes his laughs and pushes down the pain
And he fits in with all his classmates, just more of the same
He’s got friends by the dozen, and they all think he’s great
And the girls come up constantly and ask him for dates
He’s good at keeping up appearances, cause his whole life is at stake
So if he’s got so many friends, why do they all seem so… fake?
Imaginary imaginary friends
Imaginary imaginary friends
Pieced his life together and he knows where he stands
Imaginary imaginary friends
Imaginary imaginary friends
Imaginary imaginary friends
Missy’s who he’s missing but she’s gone from his head
Imaginary imaginary friends
Imaginary imaginary friends
Imaginary imaginary friends
It had to be so scary, uncaring plans
Imaginary imaginary end

Shadowy
03:42
|
|||
|
I’m a shadow, I am dark
Will you watch me fall apart?
The light plays tricks on my skin, bringing me in, oh
Will you take my beating heart?
Children watch and point and stare
As on the sidewalk I am there
I’m changing form, my shape distorts upon the floor
As they tilt their caps to block the glare
Their breath
Is taken away, is taken away
Regrets
I made a mistake, I’m a shadowy monster
I’ve made a mistake, I’m a shadowy monster
Cause I lived in the shadows
I needed love, I needed love
I’m a shadow of what I had become
I’m tinted red, I’m almost dead
So don’t forget me when the sun sets
When the sun sets
I'm a shadowy monster
When the sun sets
When the sun sets
I'm so shadowy, shadowy

Neverland
05:22
|
|||
|
How do you know the time of day?
You look at the clock within its frame
Measure the time that’s slipped away
How can you go along your way
Never seeing past the gray
Following steps you can’t retrace
But still
I wonder what we could’ve been
If you’d just been there
Still, I wonder what we are
So stay here with me
Take a day here to breathe
Just say that you believe
And we can be here endlessly
Cause right now we are in Neverland
Right here in Neverland
Why can’t you look me in the eye?
Your problems don’t have to be mine
You say you haven’t got the time
But I know the truth behind your lies
I see you holding back inside
And all the soul you hide by crying
I used to wonder where we were gonna go
When you’d just get here
Now I wonder where you are
So stay here with me
Take a day here to breathe
Just say that you believe
And we can be here endlessly
Cause right now we are in Neverland
Right here in Neverland
Yeah, sometimes when I’m alone I think of what a waste of time this is
My mind just can’t align with this
And I can barely rhyme because of this
This way you wear conformity
On your sleeve when you are torn between
Time-urgency and normalcy
I believe that there is more to this
You just gotta explore a bit
Stop worrying where your time went to before
And store a little bit of satisfaction knowing that true happiness is cordless, cordless
Time’s not real, it’s just a falsehood
In Neverland it’s all good
Captain Hook’s not all wrong, least he got that clocks were not good, like manna
But it’s only Peter Pan who knew just "how far he’d go" – Moana
And he couldn’t find his shadow cause there’s no dark in Nirvana
Time is just fabric but you’re a material girl like you wish you were Madonna
How do you keep from getting torn?
You measure the calm before the storm
You hold someone close to keep you warm
I’m sorry
That you could never see the pain you put yourself through
Cause you just never had the time
So one last time
Just stay here with me
Find a way here to breathe
It’s not hard to believe
We could’ve stayed here endlessly
But right now we are in Neverland
One last time in Neverland
One more moment in Neverland
Take your last breath in Neverland
How do you know the time of day?
You look at the clock within its frame
Measure the time that’s slipped away
Endlessly

Spelunk Funk
04:27

I was walking through a cave and I got bored
I got bored
I got bored
Cause this cave was just like others I’d explored
I’d explored
I wanted more
So I crawled into an opening, a hollow empty space
There were spiders and a bunch of bats to decorate the place
And I took a look around me to assess the situation
But all the miles of mediocrity just gave me aggravation
Cause all the stalagmites
Held on so stalactight to the ground, to the ground
And it was dark as night
Cause my old stalaglight was dying out, dying out
I’d been here quite awhile
With an adventurous smile, now I was getting bored, I was getting bored
So if it’s quite alright
I stalagmight not come here anymore
So I was crawling through a cave and I got tired
I got tired
I got tired
Cause after all I had arrived to get inspired
To get inspired
And fuel the fire
But it had been a lot of time since I had gone into the cave
I’d been searching for strange scenery, but it all sorta seemed the same
And now it’s weird to think that something so exotically intentioned
Could end up so inconsequential, really, not that much to mention
Cause all the stalagmites
Held on so stalactight to the ground, to the ground
And it was dark as night
Cause my old stalaglight was dying out, dying out
I’d been here quite awhile
With an adventurous smile, now I was getting bored, I was getting bored
So if it’s quite alright
I stalagmight not come here anymore
Ohhh
To be honest I’m not sure what I was waiting for
Ohhh
I guess this cave is a metaphor
I am living out my life and I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
Cause each day is just like others I’ve explored
I’ve explored
I just want more
And my heart is just an opening, a hollow empty space
There are spiders and a bunch of bats to decorate the place
And I look at those around me to assess the situation
But it seems that they all also live in caves of their creation
Cause all the stalagmites
Hold on so stalactight to the ground, to the ground
And it’s dark as night
Cause my old stalaglight is dying out, dying out
I’ve been here quite awhile
With an adventurous smile, now I’m getting bored, I’m getting bored
So if it’s quite alright
I stalagmight not come here anymore
Yeah if it’s quite alright
I stalagdon’t think I can do this anymore

Easy as Pie
04:00
|

|
She looks at me as if to say
Is your loving just a game
Don’t make a difference what I say
Oh I know it doesn’t matter anyway
At the table, she’s cold as stone
Dinner for two, but I feel so alone
Taste her apple pie, but the flavor is gone
Another fight, another night I’ll spend alone
Oh I know we can keep on running, running, running away
From all our issues, all the games that we keep trying to play
But it’s time I speak my mind and take all of the blame
Cause I know that I’ve made some mistakes
Yeah, I’m real stupid sometimes
But I’ll make it alright
I know we’ll make it out ali-i-i-ive
It’ll be you and me forever put the pieces back together make it easy as pie
La la la
Easy as pie
Whoa
Her shadow’s lying next to me
My eyes open, I was hopin' I could get some sleep
But I’m so wound up, I can barely breathe
Count my mistakes like I’m counting sheep
Oh I know that I keep on pushing, pushing, pushing away
I’m afraid of trusting anybody who can make things okay
But if I let you go I’d never be the same
And I’m scared that I might be too late
Yeah, I’m real stupid sometimes
But I’ll make it alright
I know we’ll make it out ali-i-i-ive
It’ll be you and me forever put the pieces back together make it easy as pie
Ay
Whoa
Whoa, easy as pie
Whoa
Whoa we'll make it easy as pie
It’ll be you and me forever put the pieces back together don’t you tell me goodbye
I promise I am different now so give me just a minute now to fix you and I
Oh it’ll be a struggle but there won’t be any trouble if we give it a try
I will love you for infinity for each and every minute till it’s easy as pie
Yeah

Only for Today

Ooo
Ooo
It has been a million years since I have felt the pain
But now I feel it coming back again
Now I feel it coming back again, whoa
It has been a million years since I have touched the rain
But now it’s coming like a hurricane
Yeah now it’s coming up and blowing me away
I knew life was going too smooth
It had been too long, the rain was due soon
The storm is here and the pain just blew through
But a million years still feels like too soon
Now I just don’t know what to do
I curl up under covers colored blue
But you know my heart is painted blue too
So the rain falls through, d-doo doo doo doo doo
Well everybody says it’s crazy being human
But everybody knows it’s a shame to walk away
I keep telling myself how to be a human
But the pain keeps getting in the way
Oh I know
It’s only for today
Ooo
It has been a million times that I have felt the flood
It slashed my tires and filled my head with blood
And now I don’t know who to trust
Can’t trust myself cause I’m no weatherman
Can’t trust the world cause it don’t have a plan
Nobody else cause I’m a lonely man
The lightning cracks into my ceiling
My world falls and my mind is reeling
I close my eyes and give in to feelings
Sometimes I wish that I couldn’t feel things
Well everybody says it’s crazy being human
But everybody knows it’s a shame to walk away
I keep telling myself how to be a human
But the pain keeps getting in the way
Oh I know
It’s only for today
But if I cry now
It’ll go by, drift back to the wind
So I’ll keep crying
And I’ll keep trying to let it in
Cause oh it hurts me to my core
And I can’t take it anymore
But if I drown in it I’m sure
It only takes a little more
And though I’m small and I am weak
And my walls have sprung a leak
And my throat hurts when I try to speak
It’s just maybe one more day we’ll wait and see
Ohh
I know
That it’s just one more day of sorrow
I’ll hold on to what I’ve got, oh
Ohh
I’m so
Eff'd up I can’t spell out my name
But it won’t always be this way
Ohh
It’s only for today
It’s only for today
It’s only for today
It’s only for today

Lost and Found

I wanna stay here til the world disappears
I wanna comfort you and wipe away your tears
I wanna shelter you and save you from the storm
I wanna hold you close and keep your body warm
And I have always loved you through the laughter and the pain
I’m thinking of you all the time and time again
I’m grateful for our little talks and all the plans we made
And though I will be going, know the love will still remain
Ohh
Ohh
And I know I can be the one who loves you when you’re down
I promise after this I’ll always stick around
But in the moment I won’t say these words aloud
Cause for now I will be running for awhile
Through lost and found
I know that it may seem like we are going separate ways
And I can’t promise that I’m never gonna change
But however far the path between us may be split in two
I'll always remember all my memories with you
And there are times I wish I’d made the other choice
That I could stay here and forever hear your voice
I wish to God that I didn’t have to go
But now my journey takes me far away from home
Ohh
Ohh
And I know I can be the one who loves you when you’re down
I promise after this I’ll always stick around
But in the moment I won’t say these words aloud
Cause for now I will be running for awhile
Through lost and found
Ooo
Ooo
Pieces of ourselves we’ll lose along the way
Running down the avenue of time and space
We drop some of the special things from yesterday
But we keep finding new ones every single day
And years from now I’ll be with you whenever you are down
You won’t feel lonely cause I’ll always be around
But it’s so hard for me to say these words aloud
Cause for now I’m somewhere searching for your smile
Through lost and found

Sit down
Welcome to the table
This is what you came for
To find others with no place to go
Please don’t ask our names, though
We’re all a bit unstable
Plus we’ve all got the same tale to tell
So tell us why you’re running
From the parts you never wanted
Cause you were always playing hide and seek
But the seeker never hunted
So your heart was undiscovered
It’s turned from children’s game to murder mystery
Sit down for a while
Look, you must be tired
Given that you’ve searched for your soul so long
But we don’t need a liar
So stop faking that smile
You know, the one you’ve been working on
Cause you’ve been growing up slowing up way too scared that you don’t know enough
Had to buckle down muscle down kept on hold till you were old enough
Scared to make a ripple you don’t step outside your boundaries
But everybody wants to try to be the one that seems like they’re not floundering
Ooo
Keep on holding on, holding on
Ooo
Even if what you are feels all wrong
Cause ooo
Cause we’ve all got something that’s going on
So you
You are not the only one
So tell us what you’re doing
That’s kept your life from moving
Can you really keep blaming the world
There’s nothing to be proven
Time slips until it’s ruined
But you would have it all if you just said the word
Everybody backtracks
Living in a zigzag
Switching back and forth between respect and regret
We try every kind of hat
Cause we’re scared that we might snapback
Did anybody catch that
But we keep growing up slowing up way too scared that we don’t know enough
Buckle down muscle down keep on holding till we’re old enough
Scared to make a ripple we don’t step outside our boundaries
But everybody wants to try to be the one who seems like they’re not floundering
Ooo
Keep on holding on, holding on
Ooo
Even if what you are feels all wrong
Cause ooo
Everybody’s got something that’s going on
So you
You are not the only one
So tell me you’re pretty, tell me you’re kind
Tell me you’ve got the most beautiful eyes
It’s okay to love yourself sometimes
Just pray that you’re the self you’ll find
Ooo
Keep on holding on, holding on
Ooo
Even if what you are feels all wrong
Cause ooo
Everybody’s got something that’s going on
So you
You are not the only one
You are not the only one
You are not the only one
So ooo
You are not the only one
But we keep growing up slowing up way too scared that we don’t know enough
Buckle down muscle down keep on holding till we’re old enough
Scared to make a ripple we don’t step outside our boundaries
But everybody wants to try to be the one who seems like they're not floundering
Ooo
Keep on holding on, holding on
Ooo
Even if what you are feels all wrong
Cause ooo
Everybody’s got something that’s going on
So you
You are not the only one
It's okay to love yourself sometimes
Just pray that you're the self you'll find
Everybody wants to be alright
So welcome to the table
This is what you came for
To understand that everybody has to fall
But if you take down all your labels
You might finally be able
To see that you were never truly lost at all

God's Not an Artist

I tried to be perfect, to make myself worth it
But I could have never survived
So I started again and I tried to stay sane
But my mind would not compromise
Last resorts
Second choices
The world wasn’t made for the ones who need voices
I’m crazy
You happy, I said it
But aren’t we all
So don’t give me the credit
I’m just passing on
This note where I left it
It’s not a for ransom
It’s just a confession
That my mind is not pleasant
And my face is not handsome
And neither is yours, dear
Cause God painted with crayons
Cause God’s not an artist
He’s just father of creation
He’s no little kid
With a fresh imagination
He just scribble-scrabbles
His ideas are stale and old
He draws with a pen
So his work’s not erasable
We get what we get
And we get something messy
But I don’t like clutter
So don’t even press me
I tried to be perfect, to make myself worth it
But I could have never survived
So I started again and I tried to stay sane
But my mind would not compromise
Mind of water
Head of stone
A body of glass
And our hearts stand alone
I’m stupid
Cause that’s how He made me
And even the best of us
All turn out crazy
Cause God’s not an artist
Cause God’s not an artist

Millions of years ago
Lived beasts and bugs and dinosaurs
The bigger ones were carnivores
And the small ones knew how to hide
The animals of every size
Would fight to take each other's lives
Knowing not the reason why
Just trying to survive
And oh
No matter where you'd go
The beasts would scream at the dinosaurs
Til another body was on the floor
And the bugs would laugh
And the bugs would laugh
A little more
Ohh
A little more
Ohh
Well the asteroid took the dinosaurs
And the humans came to take their course
Now they've all grown up a little more
But they miss the good old days
Now they're big and small and rich and poor
And they live inside their grocery stores
They've stole and bought and fought in wars
And their homes are never safe
And oh
No matter where you go
The beggars all renounce the kings
And we're fighting over everything
And the bugs just laugh
And the bugs just laugh
A little more
Ohh
A little more
Ohh
Ohh
Well millions of years from now
When the sun above has long run out
Outer space will replace the dinosaurs
And the beasts and bugs and us
The orbits are getting out of line
And Saturn rings a soulful chime
They'll mourn the thought of humankind
As the stars shoot each other dead
And oh
No matter where you'll go
The galaxy will be losing touch
Cause the gravity is just too much
And the moon will start to get annoyed
As violence rages in the void
There'll be no church bells left to hear
As anger sweeps the atmosphere
And God will laugh
Yes, God will laugh
A little more
