The Flat Earth Lyrics

The Earth can be any shape you want it

Any shape at all

Dark and cold or bright and warm

Long or thin or small

But it's home and all I ever had

And maybe why for me the Earth is flat


Friends have often asked me why

I'm sensitive about my height


I would look around and say

Hmm, I thought I was immune
All my life I have waited


to be given any word

It was screaming to be heard

Please remember...



The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any shape at all


Dark and cold or bright and warm
Long or thin or small


But it's home and all I ever had
and maybe why for me the Earth is flat




Turn the island to the storm tonight

Then when they spill the demon seed

Turn and face into the wind


All along you still believed
Believed you were immune

And if love is all you're missing

Look into your heart

Is anybody home ?

Please remember ...

The Earth can be any shape you want it

Any in the world


But don't you point that raygun at me
I might just explode


There are stones buried in your soul
And only a fool would blame the death of rock and roll, uyeah


And in time you'll come to understand
The flat old Earth is in your gentle hands
