We're all alright
although we're fine
about leaving you, goodbye

Widen the crack and down the well
'Cause I love you
And you love me too
Which is why I'm doing this

Hold your breath and don't look down
And just tug on the rope
when you hit the ground
so that I will know you're fine

We're all alright
although we're fine
about leaving you, goodbye

Before you know it, you'll fall asleep
And then all of this
will seize to exist
And your worries will be gone

We're all alright
although we're fine
about leaving you, goodbye

Widen the crack and down the well
'Cause I love you
And you love me too
Which is why I'm doing this

We're all alright
although we're fine
about leaving you, goodbye

We're all alright
Oh I miss you, son
and your worries will be gone

Before you know it, you'll fall asleep
And then all of this
will seize to exist
And your worries will be gone

One day we started making statues
Brought us a comfort in our loss
First there were five of them in Silver
And then we started making more

One stone for every person vanished
One more positioned out of bounds
All made to celebrate your life here
And bind you forever to this town

Five grew to worrying large numbers
As monuments invaded all of town
Bodies of stone are taking over
In spite of this, we started making more

Take them all apart
Demount them
Destroy them

These days there's nothing left in Silver
And the welcome sign says: 'Population Lost'

Hit the breaks again
Hit the breaks my friend

(Man) - Hold on, hold on, I'm in control
Building these traps on my own
Somehow someone damaged our food
And retaliation ensued

Hit the breaks again
Hit the breaks my friend
Hit the breaks again
Hit the breaks my friend

(Mouse) - Wielding shelters like I'm a pro
All cracks considered my home
And all the other creatures tell me that I
don't belong in enclosures lacking borders

Wait 'til the city turns black
Hit the breaks again
But wait 'til the city turns black, my friend

In every house you will find one
that has the mind of that someone
And every time we will find her
The planet stops, turns and loves her

I need to win to feel safer
And break my skin
'Cause we're close to the end

I need to win to feel safer
And break my skin
to feel closer to honest men
who heals our father
And break my skin
'Cause we're close to the end

I need to win to save my father
And break my skin to make him better

I'm alone here on the highway
And I'm about to make things right
Time to think about the small things
And how they come alive to fight me

Break away
Break away

Nature pulls me through the windshield
Allowing super-human flight
We're together now for the first time
And we won't stop to get it right

Break away
Break away

Weapons drawn, eyes on me

You came along for this
You wanted to come here
But all odds are turning against us

You came along for this
You wanted to come here
But all odds are turning against us

They fill it up with chlorofine
So it stays inside
A mural mind (x3)
While we wait in line

We are the chosen side (x2)
We have trained for this (x2)
We are the chosen side (x2)
We have trained for this

The space invaders come to town
And they settle down
A body armed around the torso
Will teach (x4) them

We are the chosen side (x2)
We have trained for this (x2)
We are the chosen side (x2)
We have trained for this

Go on, go on, out of sight
It's an automatic draw
Go on, go on, out of sight
It's an automatic draw

I'm not getting younger
But there is still an itch for
breaking all the rules that
keep us both together

Nights are filled with nonsense
and days are filled with absence
There's silence on the pavements
until we show them hell, mate

It's time to go home
This steering wheel has a life of its own
It's not my automobile

You're not getting older
my trustworthy companion
It's not my automobile

It's time to move on
This set of wheels has a mind of its own
It's not my automobile

We're sad inside
and this won't change anytime soon
We're sad inside
and this won't change anytime soon

This story starts when we were younger
Smaller size, so the hiding was better
In tranquil places we would slumber
while we waited in turn to be hunter

When under stranger's things we covered,
nervous ears tried to pinpoint our brothers

Silent hiding
from the sweeping whale hunter
Silent hiding
from the careful whale hunter

These games prepared us, brought us closer
But by the time we had learned, it was over

Silent hiding
from the sweeping whale hunter
Silent hiding
from the careful whale hunter

Too sick to go outside
I'm under my bed
Making up clever stories
for my stuffed cotton friends

This house is ship where
I'm the main hand deck
We're heading for glory
or turning into a wreck

We try to stay cool oh, oh
in this goddamn heat
Downtown California
cooking eggs on the street

My room is a safe house
where I can try new things
And create this illusion
where I am the king

'Cause it's safer for you and I
to trust the boat operator

'Cause it's safer for you and I
to trust the boat operator

Remember all the knobs we turned?
We turned and turned
Without finding anything

Remember all the noise we heard?
We heard, we heard
No news, no sports, no fun

Listen to the radio
It's a silent strike in stereo
Nothing on the radio
It's a walkout action in stereo
And no one is to blame for all of this confusion

And everything is old
Discover things and pass

Remember all the voices in the back?
Far back
Tempting us to take part

Remember how the tubes would glow?
No show, no show though
Power off, give up, go to sleep

Listen to the radio
It's a silent strike in stereo
Nothing on the radio
It's a walkout action in stereo
And no one is to blame for all of this confusion

I hate to say it but we're all next in line
There's nothing you can say, we are almost out of time

I hate to say it but we'll never get out
There's nothing we can do, we are ten steps out of bounds

We've been apart right from the start

We're on the bridge but the rudder is broke
We're heading for the edge but we try to keep afloat

And through the years we have distanced ourselves
from unsuspected thoughts that it's time to say farewell

We've been apart right from the start

Matriarchs without any thought or direction
guide us to a life in detention
We are elephants

Sapiens, you are not aware of the problem
You will only spread and grow taller
= No more elephants

No more elephants

Patriarchs, gather at the edges of nations
This is our war declaration
We are elephants

We are elephants

Taking turns tumbling in the noise and destruction
Following the plan to perfection

When we go into this
Knowing what we know today
Ripping out all kings of their castles
It's over

Open the side bay doors
We will go into this alone, oh
Here comes the fireball
Reducing everything to dust, oh

So hold your arms out

Shockwaves are closing in
No need to run, you'll never win, no
The world is tumbling down
Three feet from where you stand your ground, oh

So hold your arms out

I was down, I was out
I was rolling on the floor
Oh the sky surging bright
I was shaking to the core

It's the home, home I've been looking for

There's nothing left in the windows
Nothing left to admire
Ornaments are being packed
and decorations being wrapped
up for the summer
to save them from dust
and impressions that we must
save until the next year

The hole is filling up my home
Widening, and weighing me down

Shot down by a shotgun
I thought on my way down
What if everything is lost
I tried to calculate the cost
of bringing my daughter
into my thoughts
so that I can hold on
at least until she gets here

Come home, it's time for me to go on
I'll see you at my beautiful stone
