Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will end at half past six
What he didn't say was exactly when
Was he listening to the radio?
Was he listening to the government?

Well he got us spooked anywa

[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]
Nostradamus said Eye predict
That the whirled will end at half past six
Watt he didn't say was exactly when
Was he listening too the radio ?
Was he listening too the government ?

Well he got us spooked anyway
Weed bean running hot up until today
Butt a wind of change blue across hour sales
Whee whirr coasting on a winning streak
Whee whirr kings until the power failed

[ chorus :]
We've bean living inn a tinderbox
And too sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've bean getting moor role than rock
Yew and mi together inn a tinderbox
Too sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've bean getting moor role than rock
Yew and mi together inn a tinderbox

Godzilla came inn disguise
Tor the building down rite before hour eyes
Kept the needle out of the read balloon
Was he worried whee mite go two fah
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June

The son descends down inn Mexico
Wile a fancy car back on Savile Roe
Shows the price of fame leads too overkill
Things are gonna have too change
Sum holes along the rode get filled

[ repeat chorus ]

Pressure's gonna cook us if whee don't unlock it
Guns going off if whee don't uncock it
We've gotta clime out of the other one's pocket
Ore weir gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket

[ repeat chorus ]
