Parthenogenesis

[Verse 1]

Fire in the sky

Harkens the comet

Strike me, strike out my absent year

Gently

(You could do worse)

(Glad we don’t live in their universe)

(Where there’s no kindness)

(Only violence, withheld)

[Chorus]

From my body, an un-life

Ooh, it gets me every time

So I retreat from the celestial bodies

That bless us all, our parthenogenic lives

[Bridge]

Those who aim to always be well

Are cursed to see illness everywhere

So take it back, take everything back

No one can stay the hammer that falls on you

[Verse 2]

Fire in the sky

Opens the heavens

This is, this is your last chance

To escape

(You could do worse)

(Shut yourself off from the universe)

(You need to sacrifice for the happiness you seek)

[Chorus]

We are signing off now

Everything is squared away

Now we retreat to the celestial bodies

That bless us all, our parthenogenic lives

[Bridge]

Those who aim to always be well

Are cursed to see illness everywhere

So take it back, take everything back

No one can stay the hammer that falls on you

[Verse 3]

Your little black book is burning

The black plume will shroud the Earth

Look to the stars, look to the stars

We've followed them for as long as we’ve been around

[Outro]

Now they look back

Now they look back at us

Fire in the sky, here comes the comet

Fire in the sky, here comes the comet
