Proof goes poof before you know it
Fake news fails you draped in sequins
Wait it out before you blow it
Fail not to collect your winnings
The lakes give up their dead
while our tunnels flood
The appetite with which we spread
nips our endurance in the bud
Shapes form in the corner of our eyes
Apes storm the truth behind their lies
Faith grows where fact does not see fit
to stop us burning jungles just for profit
But let’s pause a moment pondering the world
I’d like to hide away today, with you, girl
Tomorrow, when the sun explodes, it’ll all be past
This walk on the beach, babe, will be our last
Let’s live in now instead of fear
Time does not exist as long as we are here
But did you hear the snubs of nations fly
on the news and in the pubs?
Can you see those warships sailing by?
The sleek dark shadows of the subs?
Shapes form in the corner of our eyes
Never wise to battle ghosts
While we’re blinded by the glitter of our tries
something darker’s moving all the fences’ posts.
So babe, what was it you just said?
I should focus on better days ahead?
Allow a million suns to shine on piles of dead?
Feast on borsht and blinis and free balls of molten lead?
Drink vodka ’til I drop?
Oh God, please make the music stop.
Make the music stop.
I don’t care what you do, just make the music stop.
