lyrics

Body's tired
Is that a reason to write, wasted
on this pile of metal,
on this D class airplane?
There's one thing I gotta say,
it's one twig in a pile of hay.
There's one thing I feel I'd better do.
It may not look like part of a real mission to you.
No

Here in the Western atmosphere,
I can't say just what I mean.
Filled up with laughing gas,
I'm bringing down the house
like a joke in a dream.
My mind is melting
in the fireworks' heat.
Carbon is exploding.
All bets are off, my friends,
it's time to retreat

And see the one you know is really waiting

You know you left grandpa back in Carlisle
to rest easy on a Murphy bed.
You see cars swerving toward his exit,
trying to say one thing they feel needed to be said.
And it's always already infinitely too late,
dogs chasing water from a sprinkler head.
And kids scrape their knees
to remind their friends what's still at stake
and inaugurate the onset of summer's end.

Are you all in?
Are you still hiding?
Waiting for your moment in the sun?
Better get yourself out in the open.
Take your horror as your temporary token

And see the one you know is really waiting
