lyrics

We were all standing back
I remember it clearly
As the sky turned to black
It was calm, it was eerie
Then the 50-foot tidals
Came towering over our heads

Now it's okay, 'cause we're better than dead

I can still the roar
Of the scientists urging
That we all stay indoors
As new germs were emerging
They were brought back from space
By a race made of carbon and lead

Now it's okay, 'cause we're better than dead

You're too young to recall
You were just six weeks old
Now you're 590
It's time you were told

At 100 degrees
Gaining 10 by the hour
We had turned up The Freeze
But it ran out of power
So we call crossed our fingers
And slept in our icicle beds

Now it's okay, 'cause we're better than dead

You're too young to recall
You were just six weeks old
Now you're 590
It's time you were told
