lyrics

Welcome to the Universe
Here’s a souvenir from the wise:

Close your eyes and open up your ears

Precious, precious valentine, what am I to do?
Heaven help me not to lose it right in front of you
We never talk anymore. Tell me about your day
How am I supposed to love you from a thousand miles away?

Take a holiday
a holiday
a holiday
a holiday
Maybe, someday I’ll come home

Sweet, sweet serenity. I haven’t found her yet
I keep picturing my enemies drowning in regret
I could be grateful for creation taking care of me
The shelter and the oxygen coming from a tree
Waterfalls and rivers flowing to the sea
And the perfect poison beauty of the powers that be…
But I’m an absentee

On a holiday
a holiday
a holiday
a holiday
Maybe, someday I’ll come home



Don’t hold me responsible
for what’s inside my brain
Don’t hold me responsible
Just keep me entertained


The sky keeps raining sticks and stones on all my hopes and dreams
So I’m off into the wild again in a secret submarine
How did all my flesh and blood become a casualty
Looking for the answers from a shiny little screen?

It’s their job to fill your head with op-ed nicotine
A never-ending tale of God and guns and gasoline
I remember how they smiled when they raised the guillotine
If you’ve ever given up your child
Then, you know what I mean
