World
Meet me in the autumn way up in Puget Sound
We can get a cabin forty miles outside of town
We can do experiments of the scientific kind
Try survive atomic blasts without going blind
Every now and then we'll head out to the deck
Breathe a little oxygen, 'n just to check
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still floating by
Is the ground still around
Above our heads the sky
Maybe if the poets were the kings
Maybe if the honeybees were never more to sting
Maybe if the vampire could face the light of day
Maybe there's some posture I should be in when I pray
Can we sit here and just wait it out
If you hear something give a shout
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still floating by
Is the ground still around
Above our heads the sky
And fields of clover, cliffs of Dover
Pause, rewind, release, do over
Fraud on my account
Check it out, make it good
In Denmark something's rotten and in Monterrey there's mold
Slaves still pickin cotton, drop my ass in the north pole
God damn the pusher man, God bless the child
Who's got his own motor home and sleeps out in the wild
Wal Mart, Sam's Club, Home Depot, yes
Meet me out front, we'll give it our best
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still floating by
Is the ground still around
Above our heads the sky
We can get a cabin forty miles outside of town
We can do experiments of the scientific kind
Try survive atomic blasts without going blind
Every now and then we'll head out to the deck
Breathe a little oxygen, 'n just to check
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still floating by
Is the ground still around
Above our heads the sky
Maybe if the poets were the kings
Maybe if the honeybees were never more to sting
Maybe if the vampire could face the light of day
Maybe there's some posture I should be in when I pray
Can we sit here and just wait it out
If you hear something give a shout
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still floating by
Is the ground still around
Above our heads the sky
And fields of clover, cliffs of Dover
Pause, rewind, release, do over
Fraud on my account
Check it out, make it good
In Denmark something's rotten and in Monterrey there's mold
Slaves still pickin cotton, drop my ass in the north pole
God damn the pusher man, God bless the child
Who's got his own motor home and sleeps out in the wild
Wal Mart, Sam's Club, Home Depot, yes
Meet me out front, we'll give it our best
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still there
If the World's still floating by
Is the ground still around
Above our heads the sky
