The Dismemberment Plan - 8 1/2 Minutes lyrics

Oh, launched all the world's nukes this morning Hoping it would kick-start something Some of them went off course and hit the moon instead It was kinda pretty. Hasn't been a whole lot of looting On the other hand, oh, it's f**ing freezing Someone on TV said something about going underground… Guess we better start digging. What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes? Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry And that you love them? I saw an astronomer break down on CNN He said, "I'm a scientist, not your f**ing clergyman! And no one's going nowhere 'cause the cars are all frozen They give the power plants ten days But the sky is like a dome of black metal flake And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes And a dead black disk slides silently overhead It's f**ing beautiful is what it is. What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes? Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry And that you love them? When I die I'm going to heaven Leave it to the co*kroaches and the 7-11s But it'd be nice to think we could get it right down here just once…
