lyrics

i know a little ghost town where we can hang out
in a rented room in a haunted house
there's a motel there with some vacancy
we can watch it end from the balcony
gotta get a head start to beat the crowd
i can call you up on my mobile phone
but when the grid goes down we'll be all alone
so i'll ask the stranger standing next to me
but he forgot how to speak without his big blue teeth
can you tell me brother, where's the dial tone?

and we'll send a message out
through the holy mushroom clouds
as the old man in the mountain comes down

the streets they rumble with the siren sound
and everybody's going underground
they're all lined up for the big descent
got a one way ticket to the main event
but if you say the word i'm gonna stick around
we can drive all night cross the city lines
where the juice ran out from their neon signs
i know a motel there with some vacancy
it's a pretty good place to start a colony
don't worry my love we're gonna be just fine

and we'll send a message out
to the top of babel's tower
from the peak of marathon, here we are

you can call me up on your mobile phone
but when the grid goes down we're gonna be alone
and the stranger that's standing next to me
says this wild wild world's got some vacancy
ice age coming better find your coat
i've come to grips with the fall of man
but it's a long long walk to promise land
so i've got my pack i've got my boots
got plenty of miles left in these shoes
i'll see you brother in the frying pan
where we'll send a message out

to the flying saucer scouts
from atop their silver chariots we'll take off
from the peak of olympia, we'll take off
