The Elephant In The Room (Dream Pop Version)

The sky is falling The sky is falling A little birdy told me time is running out (Tick tock, tick tock) But the canary in the coal mine ... doesn't know what he's talking about (Tick tock, tick tock) Another black cloud with no silver lining in sight Another nuclear sunset bleeds into a nuclear night But before we indulge in another ... orgy of doom and gloom Will someone please introduce me ... to the elephant in the room Ignorance threatens ... our very existence (Tick tock, tick tock) Is that an apocalypse ... I see coming in the distance? (Tick tock, tick tock) I've got nothing to say that you haven't heard before About politics, royalty, and holy wars Yeah, you can cover a pig with lipstick, pearls, and perfume But you can never ever disguise ... the elephant in the room The sky is falling The sky is falling The sky is falling The sky is falling Did I go too far? Did I speak too soon? Well, I wouldn't want to offend ... the elephant in the room
