From the recording Battle of The Planets
Lyrics
In the middle of the night
My teeth go loose
And every stupid thing
Comes home to roost
And there’ll be no peace
And there’ll be no rest
It’s like every little thing
Is dangerous
Do you think you’ll be long
For this world?
Then every mistake I ever made
Does a do si do and a promenade
All around the room
Then the room goes bright
From a street cleaning truck
And it’s yellow light
Do you think you’ll be long
For this world?
They finally sent someone around
To cut down that tree
I’m afraid that nothing lasts forever
Not even me
All the empires come crashing down
And it’s coming soon to your hometown
I try counting now, I’m like ol’ Bo Peep
I’m begging the Lord my soul to keep
Do you thing you’ll be long
For this world?
They finally sent someone…
Now it’s getting so late it’s early
So what do I do?
I think of you and I see stars
And the planets all bloom
And there’s life on Mars
And I dream a dream
And that dream comes true
Now I can hardly tell myself
Apart from you
Do you think you’ll be
Long for this world?
