[Verse 1]
Oh, the pain is a-comin'
While my fingers are slowly strummin'
And we ask ourselves, "Why are we even here?"
The world always turns to nighttime
And a vampire will steal my tongue
And I ask him, "How on earth
How on earth did you get this way?"
[Chorus]
And if the world collapsed
I would have you on my lap
And we would sail into the night
And paint the sky of glowing bright
And if the world went strange
And our hearts became deranged
I would gather blades of grass
And make a hat to keep you magical
Magical and warm
[Verse 2]
My body turns its back on me
Space creatures come for an abduction
But my teeth are stained
And they are rigid
Humanity will one day end
Well of course he said, "That makes sense, at least to me"
How could, how could
How could you expect this race to last forever?
[Chorus]
And if the world collapsed
I would have you on my lap
And we would sail into the night
And paint the sky of glowing bright
And if the world went strange
And our hearts became deranged
I would gather blades of grass
And make a hat to keep you magical
Magical and warm
[Outro]
Should we say our goodbyes
And set fire to this place that we call home?
Oh, the pain is a-comin'
While my fingers are slowly strummin'
And we ask ourselves, "Why and how do we get this way?"
