(Hi, well I just called you to let you know that there's an eclipse of the moon...And if you look out to the east...well..I guess you're not taking calls...)
A phoenix rose Up from the stove Holding at a simmer It was an omen Oh yes an omen So we boiled it for dinner
Never was I much of a believer But then Percy’s Song comes on in the hills And I see a roadmap and a skyline and the doctor gave me pills
Write it once cause we were cool Get home late cause we were cool Light a match and throw it out Cause we were cool
At work we like To say a knife Is never what’ll get you I’m holding out That you’ll be nice I think you might forget to
Never was I much for leaving early But I already said I’d bring the cake And I see your wife and I see diamonds And I wonder if they’re fake
Write it once cause we were cool Get home late cause we were cool Light a match and throw it out Cause we were cool
Do you need a mirror? It’s been a year of expensive reflecting I look tired Cause you are tired Babe, we call that projecting
At 5pm I should be in a church She invited me to come inside the church You know I didn’t make it to the church And I wasn’t in the Grand Canyon at sundown
Never was I much for telling lies But then lightning’s striking heavy in July And I saw it all in pictures All in pictures and goodbyes
Write it once cause we were cool Get home late cause we were cool Light a match and throw it out Cause we were cool
Write it once Stay out late Light a match And throw it out
