Artist: The Flaming Lips Album: Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell {2003}

As you walked away a strand of hair came undone
And was reflected in the sun and everything was orange
And as you disappeared the shadow of death began to run
And was reflected in the sun and everything was orange

They have begun to celebrate
The tidal wave they think is great
The ever-beating heart it wasn't
They have begun, they have begun
They have begun to assassinate the sun

And as you died in the night a million stars formed into one
And became another sun and everything was orange
And now this horrible machine churns out pain instead of love
And it looks just like the sun and everything was orange
They have begun, they have begun
They have begun to assassinate the sun

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

INSTRUMENTAL

Now listen
I don't know the dimensions of outer space
But if our ability to feel love turns out to be just a comsic accident
I'd like to think this means that the universe is on our side


I don't know how far a man can go till he finds a way
Oh, that's you and me
Let's do it once, let's do it twice
Let's do it all night until the sunrise
Comes too soon in our sunship balloons

I don't care, cos we're gonna find a way to fly to the sun
Oh, it's you and me
Let's do it once, let's do it twice
Let's do it all night until the sunrise

Let's do it once, let's do it twice
Let's do it all night until the sunrise
Comes too soon in our sunship balloons

Let's do it once, let's do it twice
Let's do it all night

One, two, three, four


Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize we're floating in space
Do you realize that happiness makes you cry
Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize
Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize
Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize

I was waiting on a moment
But the moment never came
All the billion other moments
Were just slipping all away
I must have been tripping - were just slipping all away
Just ego tripping

I was wanting you to love me
But your love it never came
All the other love around me
Was just wasting all away
I must have been tripping
Just ego tripping

I was waiting on a moment
But the moment never came - must have been tripping
But the moment never came - just ego tripping
Must have been tripping
Just ego tripping
Must have been tripping

I was waiting on a moment
But the moment never came
All the billion other moments
Were just slipping all away
I must have been tripping, just ego tripping
I must have been tripping, just ego tripping

I was wanting you to love me
But your love it never came
All the other love around me
Was just wasting all away
I must have been tripping, just ego tripping
I must have been tripping, just ego tripping

I was waiting on a moment
But the moment never came
I must have been tripping, just ego tripping
I must have been tripping, just ego tripping

Tripping, tripping, tripping

Alright, here we go
Hey Andrew, you ready over there, huh - I'm all set
Hey Richie, you're good, huh - I'm ready, man, let's do it, come on
Hey David, you good, huh - I'm doin' good
Well, Mike - let's do it
Alright, here we go
Everything's gonna work out just fine
I can see it, I can see it ahead
Alright, here we go


I know that everything changes
Yeah, it's strange how time marches on
Well, maybe there'll be sometime in the future
Oh, tell me, tell me I'm not wrong

Oh, if I could stop time
It'd be a frozen moment just around christmas
When all of mankind reveals its truest potential
And there is sympathy for the suffering
And there is sympathy for those who are suffering

And the world embraces peace and love
And mercy, instead of power and fear
And as sure as I'm standing here, I swear, it really does appear
That a change comes over us
Yeah, some kind of change comes over us

And it's glimpsed, it's glimpsed for one shining moment
And this change, well it feels like a change that's real
But then it passes along with the season
And then we, we just go back to the way we were
Yeah, we go back to the way we were

Say it isn't so
Tell me I'm not just a dreamer
Tell me, cos I'm talking with a friend and he knows how it ends
He says it's easier
He says that that's just the way we are
That it's human nature and that's just the way we are
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so - say it isn't so
Say it isn't so


There ya go
I think it's all gonna work out just fine
