lyrics

small town arkansas
new years eve
four thousand little bodies rained down

by the monument
east berlin
nervous rabbits gather

we all witness this as best we can until we're swallowed
we all witness this as best we can

much like solitude
it is uniform and smooth
it makes gravy go wild

like a noisy crowd
it is terrible and loud
but it sings just like a lost and lonely child

you can't hold everything all at once in your hands, my friend, your hands
most things they just fall apart in your hands

whole centuries groan and give in your hands, my friend, your hands
time cracks, time lives

five hundred years from now
dust and silt
they will find all our shopping lists and think
"how beautiful, small, strange and religious we once were!"

five hundred years from now
rabbits and birds will gather, will sing
of how terrible we were
oh, and you...

you will witness this as best you can until you're swallowed
you will witness this as best you can

you will witness this as best you can, then you'll be swallowed
you will witness this as best you can

much like solitude
it is uniform and smooth
it makes gravity go wild

like a noisy crowd
it is terrible and loud
but it sings just like a lost and lonely child

well, you can't hold everything all at once in your hands, my friend, your hands
most things they just fall apart in your hands

whole centuries groan and give in your hands, my friend, your hands
time cracks, time lives

la la la la la la
keep our heads about the water

la la la la
keep us afloat

la la la la la
keep our heads above the water

la la la la
keep us afloat
