Lonesome Friends of Science

The lonesome friends of science say

The world will end most any day

Well, if it does, then that's okay

'Cause I don't live here anyway

I live down deep inside my head

Where long ago, I made my bed

I get my mail in Tennessee

My wife, my dog and my family, uh-huh

Now poor old planet Pluto down

He never stood a chance, no how

When he got uninvited to

The interplanetary dance

Once a mighty planet there

Now just an ordinary star

Hanging out in Hollywood

In some old, funky sushi bar

The lonesome friends of science say

The world will end most any day

Well, if it does, then that's okay

'Cause I don't live here anyway

I live down deep inside my head

Where long ago, I made my bed

I get my mail in Tennessee

My wife, my dog and my kids and me, uh-huh

The Vulcan lives in Birmingham

Sometimes he just don't give a damn

His head is full of mumbled bits

His pride hangs down below his knees

Venus left him long ago

For a guy named Mars from Idaho

The Vulcan sent a wedding gift

Three-legged stool and a wheelchair lift, uh-huh

The lonesome friends of science say

This world will end most any day

Well, if it does, then that's okay

'Cause I don't live here anyway

I live down deep inside my head

Where long ago, I made my bed

I get my mail in Tennessee

My wife, my dog, my kids and me, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Those bastards in their white lab coats

Who experiment with mountain goats

Should leave the universe alone

It's not their business, not their home

I go to sleep and it never rains

My dog predicts hurricanes

She could smell a storm a mile away

That's all the news we have today, uh-huh

The lonesome friends of science say

The world will end most any day

Well, if it does, then that's okay

'Cause I don't live here anyway

I live down deep inside my head

Where long ago, I made my bed

I get my mail in Tennessee

My wife, my dog, my kids and me, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh
