The Lonesome Friends of Science

Lyrics

[Chorus] The lonesome friends of science say "The world will end most any day" Well, if it does, then that's okay 'Cause I don't live here anyway I live down deep inside my head Where long ago I made my bed I get my mail in Tennessee My wife, my dog, and my family [Verse 1] Poor old planet Pluto now He never stood a chance no how When he got uninvited to The interplanetary dance Once a mighty planet there Now just an ordinary star Hanging out in Hollywood In some old funky sushi bar [Chorus] The lonesome friends of science say "The world will end most any day" Well, if it does, then that's okay 'Cause I don't live here anyway I live down deep inside my head Where long ago I made my bed I get my mail in Tennessee My wife, my dog and my kids and me [Verse 2] The Vulcan lives in Birmingham Sometimes he just don't give a damn His head is full of bumblebees His pride hangs down below his knees Venus left him long ago For a guy named Mars from Idaho The Vulcan sent a wedding gift Three-legged stool and a wheelchair lift [Chorus] The lonesome friends of science say "This world will end most any day" Well, if it does, then that's okay 'Cause I don't live here anyway I live down deep inside my head Where long ago I made my bed I get my mail in Tennessee My wife, my dog, my kids and me [Verse 3] Those bastards in their white lab coats Who experiment with mountain goats Should leave the universe alone It's not their business, not their home I go to sleep and it never rains My dog predicts hurricanes She can smell a storm a mile away That's all the news we have today [Chorus] The lonesome friends of science say "The world will end most any day" Well, if it does, then that's okay 'Cause I don't live here anyway I live down deep inside my head Where long ago I made my bed I get my mail in Tennessee My wife, my dog, my kids and me
