We don't know how this occured but
We don't care if it all goes wrong
And as soon as it's fixed we won't bother to find out what broke it
I would dream of magazines and
I was nothing 'til something came
Took my view of the world and set fire to it from all four corners.
I think the man in black's my idle
He says there's a million ways to go
There are times I'm scared that I live in those dreams
Where I just cannot move forward.
You and I have such a cool time,
Sod the word and laugh for hour and hours
Problem pages have the answers,
Reasons to, and reasons not to.
Did you think you'd still be pretty
When they found your body?
Do you think the world will shut down soon?
And if so will you leave without me?
Leave me here, in my sleep.
The motorways'll sprawl and tangle
Concrete spines in our design
Each one is a fake escape route
We know we
Can easily
Find the right one
I think I'd like to take my time though,
There's plenty here I'd like to see
Through your eyes and mine this fated, failing earth
Can be quite charming
I have always loved you to be
Irresponsible like me
If you think the world will shut down soon
Please say you won't leave without me
Please don't don't leave in my sleep.
INS
I would like to take my time and
Take a few more fake escape routes
I think the man in black's my idol
He says there's a million ways to go
He says that we live more in one single day
Than some do ever.
Did you think you'd still be pretty
- did you think you'd change all that you knew
Did you want my world to shut down too
- did you even know just what you'd leave.
