lyrics

The Old Man & The Country

I saw an anchorman write history on an old man’s back
There was a word he couldn't spell, so he painted his whole back in black
I dreamed that it was raining, now the whole world is wet
I dreamed the ship was sinking, now everyone is dead

I heard the old, old, old man say:
“One by one we drop away”
…

He said:
“Boy, boy, boy, why aren’t you afraid?
Boy, boy, boy, the TV’s full of flames!
Boy, boy, boy, why aren’t you afraid?
Boy, boy, boy, my heart is full of flames!”

I heard the old, old, old man say:
“One by one we drop away”
…

I saw an anchorman write history on an old man’s back
There was a word he couldn't spell, so he painted his whole back in black
The rain turned into oil & we turned into sand
I dreamed the ocean settled while the sun came back again
