At the Time of Writing
There's nothin' much hangin' from the tree in the Garden of Eden
It takes a long long time for the fruit to ripen on the vine
We better get together or we'll end up on the roof with a shotgun
Because a chance, we've only got one
It's never very smart to try and strip the bark from an old tree
We've been diggin' up the dirt since the rocks of the earth were still warm
Now old king coal is dyin', he was nevеr gonna last the long run
You know a chance, we'vе only got one
At the time of writin', we were in our heads
At the time of writin', we were good as dead
At the time of writin'
At the time of writin', we were fast asleep
At the time of writin', we were in too deep
At the time of writin'
Wait a little while, your eyes will realign into the darkness
There's an ice-melt below us, bamboo curtains above
Our ocean moat protects us, our friends will surely come
You know a chance, we've only got one
At the time of writin', we were in our heads
At the time of writin', we were good as dead
At the time of writin'
At the time of writin', we were fast asleep
At the time of writin', we were in too deep
At the time of writin'
They make no apologies for this
Make no apologies for anythin'
They make no apologies for this
Make no apologies for everythin'
We are not responsible for this
We're not responsible for everythin'
We are not responsible for this
We're not responsible for everythin'
At the time of writin', we were in our heads
At the time of writin', we were good as dead
At the time of writin'
At the time of writin', we were fast asleep
At the time of writin', we were in too deep
At the time of writin'
At the time of writin', we were on the brink
At the time of writin', still had time to think
At the time, at the time, at the time, at the time, at the time
Right now!
