Also a But

From The Main Thing2020

Written by Alex Bleeker, Jackson Pollis, Julian Lynch, Martin Courtney, Matt Kallman

Lyrics

Also a But

Blue-green 'cross the surface of the lake A shining, metallic gleam Another toxic thing, a poison bloom I could easily imagine any manner of disaster Couldn't you? Always feeling tense I await calamity At times I feel I can't even trust the ground under my feet Floating atop a mushroom cloud Floating atop a mushroom cloud Floating atop a mushroom cloud Floating atop a mushroom cloud
