Lyrics

World on Fire
(Dan Mahoney)

The world is on fire and
you're blinded by the smoke,
And spoken words and wavelengths
That we know.
Some are shining brightly in
The short time that they show, while
Others glowing slow and dull and old.

Shine long and bright my little planet on the run.
Orbit ye, like satellite on television sun.
Gonna wake up every mmornin' and
I'll get my shinin' done, till
I un-learn what now appears to be this world.

The world is on fire and
We're blinded by the smoke.
And spoken words and wavelengths
That we know.
Some are throwing water and
some throwing gasoline.
Most will just pretend it can't be seen.

The speed of your own mind will
Find the light you think you see in
This dimension of perception at
Suggested retail speed.
The clocks will frown upon your change,
And tell your time of need,
'til you unlearn what now appears to be this world.

The world is on fire?

Matter and its energy appear
To shring and grow.
Rock this ball of vortex into
Nothing left to know.
May your atoms lose electrons 'til
The up-ending of this show,
And we unlearn what now appears to be this world.
