Mayday All holidays are sad Even when pagans celebrate fertility I am so damn glad we never had kids Can you imagine the anguish and the pity? I bought you some flowers from the Sunoco gas station store Janky and wilted, the last ones they had My May Queen deserves so much more The T-shirt guy whines Stronti-90 on his lips There's no appreciation for spectacle these days He got a bigger crowd for the eclipse Stardust flowing through my veins, dawn on the southern shore Can we just endure the glowing days that remain? Cold drinks in the rental car that will never drive us home I don't want to be alone, our love made it so far Folk tales of the Marshallese say you see the blast An eternity before you feel the breeze Particles are dancing rings 'round a maypole of fire Baby take it in: the final festival of spring Oracles of war For nearly a century we knew what to fear Honestly I can't name a single song by Jackson Browne But he would feel so vindicated here Shout out workers of the world Producing triggers and mining the uranium I don't know if you could really say we won But at least our earthly toil is done Stardust flowing through my veins, dawn on the southern shore Can we just endure the glowing days that remain? Cold drinks in the rental car that will never drive us home I don't want to be alone, our love made it so far Folk tales of the Marshallese say you see the blast An eternity before you feel the breeze Particles are dancing rings 'round a maypole of fire Baby take it in: the final festival of spring
