I hope you're sitting comfortably
I saved you the best seat in the house right up in the front row
The stars have been torn down and the moon is locked away
The land is banked in frozen snow
You are a force of nature, dear
And your breath curls from your lips
And the trees bend down their branches
To touch you with their fingertips
[Chorus]
They're bringin' out the dead now
It's easy, well, just to look away
They are bringin' out the dead now
It's been a strange, strange day
We could navigate our position by the stars
But they've taken out the stars
Well the stars have all gone
And I'm glad you've come along
We could comprehend our condition by the moon
But they've ordered the moon not to shine
Still, I'm glad you've come along
I was worried out of my mind
I saved you the best seat in the house right up in the front row
The stars have been torn down and the moon is locked away
The land is banked in frozen snow
You are a force of nature, dear
And your breath curls from your lips
And the trees bend down their branches
To touch you with their fingertips
[Chorus]
They're bringin' out the dead now
It's easy, well, just to look away
They are bringin' out the dead now
It's been a strange, strange day
We could navigate our position by the stars
But they've taken out the stars
Well the stars have all gone
And I'm glad you've come along
We could comprehend our condition by the moon
But they've ordered the moon not to shine
Still, I'm glad you've come along
I was worried out of my mind
