Intro: ]x2
I hope you re sitting comfortably
I saved you the best seat in the house
Right up in the front row
The stars have been torn down
The moon is locked away
And the land is banked in frozen snow
You are a force of nature, dear
Your breath curls from your lips
As the trees bend down their branches
And touch you with their fingertips
They are bringing out the dead now
It s easy just to look away
They are bringing out the dead now
It s been a strange, strange day
We could navigate out position by the stars
But they ve taken out the stars
The stars have all gone
I m glad you ve come along
We could comprehend our
condition by the moon
But they ve ordered the the moon not to shine
Still, I m glad you ve come along
I was worried out of my mind
Cause, they keep bringing out the dead now
It s easy just to look away
They re bringing out the dead
And it s been a long, strange day
You can move up a little closer
I will throw a blanket over
We can weigh all the tears in one hand
Against the laughter in the other
We could be hanging around here for centuries
Trying to make sense of this, my dear
While the planets try to get organised
Way above the stratosphere
But they bringing out the dead, now
It s easy if we just walk away
Cause they keep bringing out the dead, now
It s been a long, long day
