00:00I don't know
00:30Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:45oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:48Well, I hope you're sitting comfortably.
00:52I've saved you the best seat in our house, right up in our front row.
01:00Well, the stars have been torn down
01:03And the moon has locked away
01:06The trees are baked in frozen snow
01:11Yeah, well, you are a false adventure, dear
01:15And your breath curls from your lips
01:18Black trees bent on their branches
01:21Touching with their fingertips
01:23But they're praying out the dead now
01:30It's easy just to look away
01:38Yeah, well, they're praying out the dead now
01:44It's gonna be a long, strange day
02:05Well, I'm almost a tradition by the stars
02:10Yeah, but they've taken out the stars
02:13Well, the stars have all gone
02:16And I'm glad you've come along
02:18We can navigate our position by the moon
02:23Yeah, but they've ordered the moon not to shine
02:26Still, I'm glad you've come along
02:28I was worried out of my mind
02:32Cause they keep praying out the dead now
02:37It's easy
02:39It's easy just to look away
02:46Well, they're praying out the dead now
02:52It's gonna be a long, strange day
02:57Yeah, but they're praying out the dead now
03:03Yeah, but they're praying out the dead now
03:36Well, you can move up a little closer
03:39I'll throw a blanket over
03:42We can wave up all the tears in one hand
03:46Laughter in the other
03:47We could be hanging around here for centuries
03:51Trying to make sense of this, my dear
03:54The planet's trying to get organized
03:57Wave up all the stratosphere
04:00Bringing out the dead now
04:06It's easy
04:07It's easy
04:07It's easy
04:08If we just don't walk away
04:11It's easy
04:13Well, yeah, they're praying out the dead now
04:18Yeah, but they're praying out the dead now
04:21And it's been a cold, strange day
04:27I'm glad you've come along
04:40Yeah, but they're praying out the dead now
