Oh, launched all the world's nukes this morning
Hoping it would kick-start something
Some of them went off course
And hit the moon instead
It was kinda pretty
Hasn't been a whole lot of looting
On the other hand, oh, it's fucking freezing
Someone on tv said something
About going underground
Guess we better start digging
What were you doing for those
Eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty
Or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
What were you doing for
Those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it selfish
Or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
I saw an astronomer break down on CNN
He said: I'm a scientist, not your fucking clergyman!
And no one's going nowhere
'Cause the cars are all frozen
They give the power plants ten days
But the sky is like a dome of black metal flake
And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes
And a dead black disk slides silently overhead
It's fucking beautiful is what it is
What were you doing for those
Eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty
Or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
What were you doing for
Those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it selfish
Or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
When I die I'm going to heaven
Leave it to the cockroaches and the 7-11s
But it'd be nice to think we could get it right
Down here just once
