lyrics

Please don't kill me, I'm just crossing the road
I even waited for the sign to tell me to go
But you don't stop
even though a shade of carmine red tells you to, you never do
You heavy heavy hitter, you

I saw your face outside a supermarket window
It was staring wearily at a shopping cart in limbo
So you went up
To return it to the lonely bay, and you are more disappointed in everything everyday

I'm sorry for your suffering
Sorry people are how they are
But you're tense and it's spreading
And I can't keep wasting my time

The world is ending won't you cover your eyes
I said "what's the point if we're just all gonna die"
I'll keep an ocular appointment to open up wide
And watch the earth crumble down like you've already done on the inside

Please don't kill me, I'm just crossing the road
I even waited for the sign to tell me to go
But you don't stop
even though a shade of carmine red tells you to, you never do
You heavy heavy hitter, you

I called last night to check and see how you were doing
You ranted on about how you're always lost or losing
So I hung up
I can only take so damn much, man
Your cynicism's contagious

I'm sorry for your suffering
I wish that I knew how
To keep you from worrying
Or wipe some sweat from your brow

The world is ending won't you cover your eyes
I said "what's the point if we're just all gonna die"
I'll keep an ocular appointment to open up wide
And watch the earth crumble down like you've already done on the inside
