lyrics

There’s shades of grey and shades of dark
Entropy waxing in the park
A flock of pigeons drops out from the sky

Black daisies glint on dark-grey grass
A silent brass band marching past
It’s far too late to give it one more try

And so it seems that this is real
An everyday doomsday scenario
And when you leave
Where will, where will you go
An everyday doomsday scenario
And what is there remaining I can say?

Worlds in collision.
Worlds that drift apart.

The ice cream seller has no stock
The town hall tower has no clock
An age of reason stumbles to a halt

Old ladies stationary standing
The children’s ball will not be landing
I cannot point at someone whose at fault

And so it seems that this is real
An everyday doomsday scenario
And when you leave
Where will, where will you go
An everyday doomsday scenario
And what is there remaining I can say?

Worlds in collision.
Worlds that drift apart

Do beginnings imply endings
Is everything required to evolve?
If ending breaks us up so badly
Is it better not to get involved?

And so it seems that this is real
An everyday doomsday scenario
And when you leave
Where will, where will you go
An everyday doomsday scenario
And what is there remaining I can say?

Worlds in collision.
Worlds that drift apart.
