gather up the people, try to make them all see
the whole world slowly swallowed up by the sea
little is more certain than the end of our kind
when we're tugging on the curtains at the edges of time

we, we, we can live together
but it's a long, long, long way back home

gather up the people and set them aside
the whole world's tremblin' from the incoming tide
our little sun burns hotter than ever before
while we're scroungin' 'round the cellar on our way to the door

we, we, we can live together
but it's a long, long, long way back home

listen up you people for it's time to believe
the whole damn world is covered up to its knees
and little's left to chance in our charade gone astray
so take apart your wishes and just put 'em away
