Goodbye to the make-believe Long have you pumped oxygen Into everything around me Time machines, fringe tame freeze Which one can we reprieve? Not in this life, maybe yours
Take me to my favorite spot And promise me they're still around What's blown up, must come down It seems a waste to grow so great Just to be put in the ground No, the earth will reject this now
Goodbye battle, paper thin Money's thicker, market wins Buy the boss a frosty drink Are all I have to guide me Golden leaves, union dreams What are these all worth without them? Not in this life, maybe yours From the aisles made noise Took them while the captor slept Their home's among the dawn poised and laid to fall The earth will accept them large and small
Don't let it die, the world goes by I love the cold for freezing time What's the hurry? Do you mind? What goes up, must come down It seems a waste to grow so great Just to be pushed to the ground The earth's gonna turn us down
Oh, c'mon, c'mon, everyone
