There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky

(chorus)
Fall on me (what is it up in the air for) (it's gonna fall)
Fall on me (if it's there for long) (it's gonna fall)
Fall on me (it's over it's over me) (it's gonna fall)

There's the progress we have found (when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)
Isn't anything at all (melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky

(repeat chorus)

Fall on me

Well i could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if i send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole

Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky

(repeat chorus 2x)

Fall on me

(repeat chorus)

Fall on me

(repeat chorus)

(chorus 1)
This one goes out to the one i love
This one goes out to the one i've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one i love

(chorus 2)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)

(repeat chorus 1)

(repeat chorus 2)

This one goes out to the one i love
This one goes out to the one i've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one i love

(repeat chorus 2 2x)

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world

(chorus)
Talk about the passion
Talk about the passion

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Combien, combien, combien de temps?

(repeat chorus)

Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Combien, combien, combien de temps?

(repeat chorus 4x)

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but i believe
You'll be coming back before too long

(chorus)
Don't go back to rockville, don't go back to rockville, don't go back to rockville
And waste another year

At night i drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if i'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

(repeat chorus)

It's not as though i really need you
If you were here i'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
That's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but i believe
You'll be coming back before too long

(repeat chorus 2x)

When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door

If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where i go, i go
Lawyer jeff he knows the low-down
He's mighty bad to visit home

(chorus)
(i've been there i know the way)
Can't get there from here
(i've been there i know the way)
Can't get there from here
(i've been there i know the way)
Can't get there from here
(i've been there i know the way)

When your hands are feeling empty
Stickheads jumping off the ground
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother ray can sing my song

(i've been there i know the way)
Can't get there from here
(i've been there i know the way)
Can't get there from here
(i've been there i know the way)
Can't get there from here, here, here
(i've been there i know the way)

Hands down, calechee bound
Land locked, kiss the ground
The dirt of seven continents going
Round and round
Go on ahead mr. citywide
Hypnotize, suit and tie
Gentlemen testify

If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the low-down
Throw your trolls out the door

(repeat chorus 2x)

Can't get there from here
(i've been there i know the way)

(thank you, ray)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
Snakes, an aeroplane and lenny bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
Serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. feed
It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height. wire
In a fire, representing seven games, a government
For hire and a combat site. left of west and coming in
A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. team
By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low playing! fine, then. uh oh,
Overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. save
Yourself, serve yourself. world serves its own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
The revered and the right, right. you vitriolic,
Patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
Psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine

Six o'clock - tv hour. don't get caught in foreign
Towers. slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
Churn. locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
Letting. every motive escalate. automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive. step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
Fear cavalier. renegade steer clear! a tournament,
Tournament, a tournament of lies. offer me solutions,
Offer me alternatives and i decline

(chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time i had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time i had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine (it's time i had some time alone)

I feel fine

(repeat chorus)

The other night i dreamt of knives, continental
Drift divide. mountains sit in a line, leonard
Bernstein. leonid brezhnev, lenny bruce and lester
Bangs. birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! you
Symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? right

(repeat chorus)

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine (it's time i had some time alone)

(repeat chorus 2x)

Fine
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time i had some time alone)
