They're Not Here, They're Not Coming |
From the Arizona desert |
To the Salisbury Plain |
Lights on the horizon |
Patterns on the grain |
Anxious eyes turned upward |
Clutching souvenirs |
Carrying our highest hopes |
and our darkest fears |
They swear there was an accident |
back in '47 |
Little man with a great big head |
Splattered down from heaven |
Government conspiracy |
Cover-ups and lies |
Hidden in the desert |
under endless skies |
Well, it’s a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold |
Post, postmodern world |
No time for heroes, no place for good guys |
No room for Rocky The Flying Squirrel |
They’re not here, they’re not coming |
Not in a million years |
Turn your weary eyes back homeward |
Stop your trembling, dry your tears |
You may see the heavens flashing |
You may hear the cosmos humming |
But I promise you, my brother |
They’re not here, they’re not coming |
Would they pile into the saucer |
Find Orlando’s rat and hug it? |
Go screaming through the universe |
Just to get McNuggets? |
Well, I don’t think so, I don’t think so |
It’s much too dangerous, it’s much too strange |
Here in a world that won’t give Oprah |
no home on the range |
Well, it’s a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold |
Post, postmodern world |
No authenticity, no sign of soul |
The radio won’t play George and Merle |
They’re not here, they’re not coming |
Not in a million years |
'Til we put away our hatred |
'Til we lay aside our fears |
You may see the heavens flashing |
You may hear the cosmos humming |
But I promise you, my sister |
They’re not here, they’re not coming |
To this garden we were given |
And always took for granted |
It’s like my daddy told me, |
«You just bloom where you’re planted.» |
Now you long to be delivered |
From this world of pain and strife |
That’s a sorry substitution |
for a spiritual life |
(Solo) |
Well, it’s a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold |
Post, postmodern world |
No place for sentiment, no room for romance |
Bring back the Duke of Earl |
They’re not here, they’re not coming |
Not in a million years |
Turn your hopes back homeward |
Hold your children, dry their tears |
You may see the heavens flashing |
You may hear the cosmos humming |
But I promise you, my brother |
They’re not here, they’re not coming |
They’re not here, they’re not coming |
Not in a million years |
'Til we put away our hatred |
And lay aside our fears |
You may see the heavens flashing |
You may hear the cosmos humming |
But I promise you, my brother |
They’re not here, they’re not coming. |
