[Verse 1]
I'm staring through the telescope hungry
I'm staring through the telescope at all, at all, I know
When every inch of matter is measured
And every force and element is known, is known, it's on
You're looking for whatever comes after
You're looking for a way to escape, escape it all
You're looking for a map with no markings
You're having second thoughts about it all, it all

[Pre-Chorus]
But I see a Geiger counter
And I see a Richter scale

[Chorus]
Go, leave your homes
Take whatever you can
It's no joke
It's coming towards you, yeah

[Verse 2]
And you can make a difference so easy
You could make a difference, but you don't, you don't, I know
You'd never tell me anything real now
You never have the time to watch it all, it all, I know
And everybody thinking of the same thing
And nobody is saying it you know, you know it all
You skip a generation and find it
You skip a generation and oh, and oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see a Geiger counter
And I see a Richter scale
And the truth is the birth of a child
The sunlight, it's all I ever had

[Chorus]
Go, leave your homes
Take whatever you can
It's no joke
It's coming towards you
Go, leave your homes
Take whatever you can
It's no joke
It's coming towards you, yeah

[Outro]
And I could make a difference so easy
I could make a difference but I don't
Darling, I'm closing
