Just Once in the World
de Bright Eyes
Found the throughline
For all humankind
If given the time
They'll blow up or walk on the Moon
It's just what they do
For personal gain
On thanksgiving day
I joined the parade
I stood at the top of the float
And threw out a rose
Watched a blast from the past
Indigenous dance
Started to laugh
And then I just started to cry
This world is waving goodbye
So cut a rug, let's throw a party
Birthday cards for everyone
Swallow hard and say you're sorry
Just admit what you have done
I've studied your work
Like architecture
Cathedral of words
The meaning's not easy to tell
Comes back 'round on itself
Admirers, your biographer
The odometer
There's no way to turn back the clock
It's gonna run till it stops
So excited to play
Turned up all the way
Electric, ecstatic, psychotic
Jumped into the drums
Was pandemonium
So if it's time, let's go together
I will be your ballast now
Let's sail into that stormy weather
No matter how it turns out
I just want to stand by your side (stand by your side)
When everyone calls you a lie
I'll be your shield (be your shield)
There's still some truth worth defending
Let's stroll to the edge of the cliff (here am I, exposed)
Stop here and give me a kiss
Now we're walking on air (pretend I'm there)
There's no hell beneath our feet
If it ever occurred
Just once in the world
A love as absurd as ours
I would scream what we lost
From the mountaintop
