Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You looked like worldwide Armageddon
While you slept
You looked so peaceful
You scared me
Don't die just yet
And leave me
Alone, alone, alone
On this journey round the sun
[Verse 2]
And, oh, javelin
Oh, javelin unlanding
And, oh, javelin
Oh, javelin unlanding
[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's hard to know when to call it an evening
See as much as we can stand
Stand till we stagger
Layin' all twisted together and exposed
Like roots on a riverbank
[Verse 4]
Bam, bam, bam, the Earth off its axis
The first draft's in ashes
And smeared on our faces
[Verse 5]
Oh, javelin
Oh, javelin unlanding
Oh, javelin
Oh, javelin unlanding
