lyrics

METEOR ON THE RISE

Meteor on the rise
is gonna take us down
Let's separate the boys from the men
Let's separate the girls
from the women that we love
Not that it will help much in the end
We need a time machine
to shoot us back in time
to how it was before
the meteor arrived
Can see its glowing tail
it brightens up the night
gets closer by the day
ain't nowhere we can hide

Meteor on the loose
is gonna wipe us out
Let's separate the boys from the men
Let's separate the girls
from the women we adore
Not that it will make much difference in the end
Can see its glowing tail
it lights up in the night
comes closer by the day
ain't nowhere we can hide
We need a time machine
to shoot us back in time
to how it was before
the meteor ran wild

Meteor coming down
it will erase our names
and everything we love
or should have
No more masquerades
no more vanity
but vanity must be
to beat melancholy

Can see its burning tail
it lights up in the night
much closer every day
Is there somewhere we can hide?
