Oh, launched all the world's nukes this morning Hoping it would kick-start something Some of them went off course and hit the moon instead It was kinda pretty. Hasn't been a whole lot of looting On the other hand, oh, it's fucking freezing Someone on TV said something about going underground Guess we better start digging. What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes? Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry And that you love them? I saw an astronomer break down on CNN He said, "I'm a scientist, not your fucking clergyman! And no one's going nowhere cause the cars are all frozen They give the power plants ten days What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes? Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry And that you love them? But the sky is like a dome of black metal flake And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes And a dead black disk slides silently overhead It's fucking beautiful is what it is. What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes? Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry And that you love them? When I die I'm going to heaven Leave it to the cockroaches and the 7-11s But it'd be nice to think we could get it right down here just once
