On the planet of apes In the United States On the Milky Way's edge Everyone concentrates On the littlest things Photographing the scenes Of some desperate acts by other human beings Waiting for their last breath Searching for the saints marching scared to death When we use each other We take no precaution Think each other clever Then just carry on Now everything is twist off Either or it's child proof Every time you fall in love Think of jumping off the roof In case you're not here tomorrow Have you any money I can borrow All the seeds are singing man You're pushing too hard in the middle Of the backyard battle plan When I was all for standing still Now everything is twist off Either or it's child proof Every time you fall in love Think of jumping off the roof In case your not here tomorrow Have you any money I can borrow Waiting for the last breath Searching for the saints marching scared to death
