lyrics

I heard something ‘bout a space hotel, and the cure for her disease
It’s gone away for now
There was a boom where the eggs spilled out and the larvae ate the trees
And now we’re all burned out

It’s hardly like the world we were promised
They’ve gone and turned it upside down

How did you lose your mind?
How’d you lose your memory?
It’s such a waste of time
Such a waste of energy
You couldn’t do the math
Couldn’t stop to calculate
The devil shows his hand
And you’re all just following

Cause everything’s alright
He’s a charming reprobate
There is a blinding light
And we all get blown away
You picked a golden calf
Now we tremble with the stones
We had a sacred love
Now it’s in the catacombs

There was a time we’d all come together
But something’s crawled inside our holes

Off to bed, now my love is dead, tell the children that she’s out
How will they ever know?
Her body lays in a shallow grave as the eggs hatch in her mouth
The mother scuttles home

It causes eye rolls
It turns you grey
Now it’s gone viral
You can’t escape
So bombs away
So bombs away
So bombs away
Blown to pieces
Blown to pieces
Seems the mods have gone to sleep
And now we’re alone
