Gravity and timezones are no longer of any consequence to me.
I’ve found the secret recipe for happiness and longevity.
The only thing i hope to be and that’s where you are..
Oh, just happy to be there by your side..
Oh, while we throw it all away.
Oh, i was happy to be there by your side
As we threw it all away.
(As the whole shithouse went up in flames!)
After all the mining leaves us stood behind a 12-inch glass frame,
Watching as the fireworks send the mushrooms flying skywards again.
Knowing there’ll be nothing left,
I just can’t bring myself to care
In this embryonic bubble we can start (again).
So say yes.... to absolve
So say yes.... to ignore
Because your heart has always felt at home
Where no-one else could ever go
But who you gonna tell when there is nothing left?
Well-adjusted people might lament the loss of something to believe
But don’t mistake for apathy, euphoria i’ve learned to feel
With oxygen i’m made to breath
The comfort has consumed the fear
At the thought of watching everything go up..
