The first time and the last time (the spike)
The spike came like they said it would
And we all stood there, living proof
That all things must come to past
We filmed it all to make last
Did you want me like you say you did?
Everything happens to the new age kids
So put the radio on and turn it up loud
I want to here the church bells ring out for the last time
For the last time... for the last time
Let the birds sing to the tune 'I told you so'
Pointing fingers weave to and fro
Looking like sick dance of drunken man
Everyone saying 'I thought you had a plan'
I didn't love you like I said I would
I'd tell everybody if thought I could
So put the television on and turn it up loud
I want to hear the choirs sing for the last time
For the last time... for the last time
In slumber or in awful daze
I dreamt everybody had changed their ways
I was a good man, who'd seen a beautiful light
A wife and children stood by my side
Suddenly awake now in a strangers room
Before we all knew it had come so soon
Did I do anything that I said I would?
Out in the morning sun for the last time
For the last time... for the last time
Remember that first look, long ago
Was it that long?
Sunshine on the wet hair, we lay down there in the leaves, in the breeze
Nothing changed, we are still the same, underneath it all
Collect my bones and rattle my cage, we are standing here
Just like the first time...
