Lyrics

As often as always Evolution comes crawling from the sea Alive with the urgency Like suicide, like suicide Convinced the grass is greener On dry earth; The march of serrated utterance like a soft cough Muffled murmur sneaking through the lecture halls They crawl across the island Sound of waves in muddied water Sprouting legs as loud as gallop,... All the young people took a leap of no faith In a riverbed that drowns about as much as it saves ...Throwing down on the ground against the cries of gravity Belly-up, half buried in the sand Extend your own hand to the smallness of death Understand that only dying is this colossal Creation shedding skin to find the perfect equilibrium like fossils All the young people took a leap of no faith... All the young cowards acting out... All the young cowards acting out for the brave Forever hurled into the water of their indifferent graves For a million years raise your glass We will never answer where we came from... For a million years raise your glass in a cheers We will never answer where we came from, only how we got... For a million years raise your glass We will never answer where we came from... For a million years raise your glass ...only how we got here (Two minutes, and then the lads are in for a surprise)
