lyrics

While you were asleep
They blew up the embassy
A 300 floor hotel
With just one fire escape

Former life hippies with eyes that gleam
A Zippo-lighter greatest generation dream
I'll kneel and say a prayer for you
I'll kneel and say a prayer to you

We had a real good run
At the commune today
We achieved full contact for over six hours
Shouting July, July, July

But then we got real tired
And the buildings keep getting taller
But the people
Stay the same

You've feathered your nest, and you've spirited away each spectacular
Year in the bed where you lay. Now clucking your tongue, what must
Be must be, oh what a terrible shame for my friends and me. And I
Saw Britannia walk into the rain, a three-hundred story hotel with just
One fire escape. Oh, but you bit the bullet, you inheritors of the stars
I'll bet you gave up on your children the way you gave up on Mars. So
Simple to say, so easy to take, when the lives are a stage show and the
gunshots are fake. So drink up your wine now, the red and the white, but you could have done something. You could have left on the light.
