lyrics

Down here putting out the same old fires
You’re still spitting out the party line
I don’t know why it would be different this time
It’s just as well we’ve got a rocket to ride

We’re still paying off our old adventures
They’ll be mining Mariana trenches
I don’t why it would be better this time
It’s just as well we’ve got a rocket in the sky

It’s only natural that we should seed and bloom
I don’t know why, I don't know why

You’ve been skimming all the cream off nicely
Strip the fat and leave the bones out nightly
It’s no surprise to see it so unsightly
It’s just as well we’ve got a big ship

It’s only natural that we should seed and bloom
I don’t know why, I don't know why
