You did what you saw in the movies Someone put you under a spell In some world it is always happening The next morning, everything went to hell And I play back the tapes as often as I can But we weren't meant to have memories this long The pictures degrade into snowflakes, dancing Any answer I hoped for is gone And that must be what drove them all crazy They were the first ones allowed to grow old The spark goes, but the body keeps living You kiss your children, but they just feel the cold And it just slipped away on one morning And when they woke up they found it was gone They still sang the songs and made merry But deep down, they knew something was wrong So they called me up, said: It's not enough We needed new things to feel Dead memories and the color of grief Won't you help us to make it real? Well if you can take me when the mountains break And the sea swallows up the sky You can ride on me, I'll take you beyond belief I will show you the reason why And in the best scene of the movie I am driving a car that won't stop Distracted for sure fighting some psychic war We all were too wasted to stop You said you'd take me away on a starship But baby, why'd you have to wait so long? In the transept, in the apse In a selfish moment's lapse I fell asleep waiting for that far-off song So they gave it up, said: It's all too much I can't take it if this is how it feels Got to pay the piper, hire another writer To tell you what is real But if you could take me when the mountains break And the sky spells satanic designs You can call me up, I will call your bluff And you can finally lose your mind I was warned of all this Didn't listen, didn't listen Please wake up, I need to talk to you right now I got bored of all this And didn't listen, didn't listen Muttering BLID to get me through the next twelve minutes I caught a glimpse of myself and fell right in I fell right in Didn't know that there was only one way out Stage rest No stage left No stage right No stage left No stage right No stage left No stage right Oh, hold onto this thread and don't look back Hold onto this thread and don't look back (The earth fell out from under me, and the earth fell out from under me, and the earth fell out from under me) Hold onto this thread and don't look back (The earth fell out from under me, and the earth fell out from under me, and the earth fell out from under me) Hold onto this thread- (The earth fell out from under me, and the earth fell out from under me, the-) The earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me And the earth fell out from under me (Earth fell out from under me!) And the earth fell out from under me (Earth fell out from under me!) And the earth fell out from under me (Earth fell out from under me!) And the earth fell out from under me (Earth fell out from under me!)
