Collapsing Stars |
| When we hid out behind the risers at the high school |
| Working bitter calculations with a slide rule |
| The grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool |
| The way you looked me in the eye, ready to die |
| We were becoming what we are |
| Collapsing stars |
| When we chewed up children’s aspirin like bubblegum |
| Till our hearts were beating deep and rich as kettle drums |
| We knew if we waited long enough the change would come |
| And then the day did come, and at last |
| Hold tight |
| Hold fast |
| Catch lightning in a jar |
| Collapsing stars |
| Told you to load up on provisions |
| We wouldn’t be back for a while |
| Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag |
| Turn toward the camera and smile, smile, smile |
| When we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies |
| Tucked our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves |
| We are gonna come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves one day |
| Well we are on our way |
| You can look |
| But you won’t find |
| Another love like ours |
| Collapsing stars |
