Lyrics

I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks

Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging london and forgot to come back

You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur
You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world

Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging london and forgot to come back

Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging london and forgot to come back
