I made you up a list of pretty things
In this big old world
I made you up a list of pretty things
In this cold dark world
I made you up a list of pretty things
In this darkass world
And they’re tying me to life
By the thinnest of threads
The thinnest of threads
But where am I going to find a megaphone at this time of night?
Where am I supposed to find a megaphone at this time of night?
Where's a fella find a megaphone at this time of night?
So you'll come in off of that windowsill
I need you off of that windowsill
Or I guess I just need you
So I made you up a list of pretty things
In this big old world
Made you up a list of pretty things
In this cold dark world
I made you up a list of pretty things
In this darkass world
And there’s four, five, man there’s six million things on here
There's six million things
So kick up your feet
While they’re still good for dancing
Kick up your feet
Like they’re no good for anything
Kick out your feet
They look so good for dancing
They look like you could move like....
We all fall down
Kick up your feet like they're just good for dancing
Kick up your feet like they're no good for anything else
Kick up your feet, they look so good for dancin
They look like, you could move like, like, look look
Yer wasting such a fuckin’ pretty song
The music's over sooner than we thought
Death comes for the best of us,
We all fall down
Yer wasting such a fuckin’ pretty song
The music's over sooner than we thought
Death comes for the best of us,
The world is ending
Now who would have thought you could dance like that?
I never would have guessed you could dance like that, no no
I've never seen anyone dance like that!
You move like... you move like the world is ending!
I tied the moon to the earth
and the earth to the sun
by the thinnest of threads
they are strung
I tied the moon to the earth
and the earth to the sun
by the thinnest of threads
you are one
you are one
We all fall down
You are one
So kick up your feet
There's six million things
You are one
The world is ending
So kick up your feet
There's six million things
You are one
The world is ending
So kick up your feet
There's six million things, six million things, six million
You are one, you are one
The world is ending
