[Verse 1]
Fire in the sky
Harkens the comet
Strike me, strike out my absent year
Gently
(You could do worse)
(Glad we don’t live in their universe)
(Where there’s no kindness)
(Only violence, withheld)

[Chorus]
From my body, an un-life
Ooh, it gets me every time
So I retreat from the celestial bodies
That bless us all, our parthenogenic lives

[Bridge]
Those who aim to always be well
Are cursed to see illness everywhere
So take it back, take everything back
No one can stay the hammer that falls on you

[Verse 2]
Fire in the sky
Opens the heavens
This is, this is your last chance
To escape
(You could do worse)
(Shut yourself off from the universe)
(You need to sacrifice for the happiness you seek)
[Chorus]
We are signing off now
Everything is squared away
Now we retreat to the celestial bodies
That bless us all, our parthenogenic lives

[Bridge]
Those who aim to always be well
Are cursed to see illness everywhere
So take it back, take everything back
No one can stay the hammer that falls on you

[Verse 3]
Your little black book is burning
The black plume will shroud the Earth
Look to the stars, look to the stars
We've followed them for as long as we’ve been around

[Outro]
Now they look back
Now they look back at us
Fire in the sky, here comes the comet
Fire in the sky, here comes the comet
