Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every thousand years
This metal sphere
Ten times the size of Jupiter
Floats just a few yards past the Earth
[Verse 2]
You climb on your roof
And take a swipe at it
With a single feather
Hit it once every thousand years
[Verse 3]
Till you've worn it down
To the size of a pea
Yeah, I'd say that's a long time
But it's only half a blink
In the place you're gonna be
[Instrumental]
Where you gonna be?
Where will you spend eternity?
I'm gonna be perfect from now on
I'm gonna be perfect, starting now
[Verse 4]
Stop making that sound
Stop making that sound
I will say I forgot it
But it was only yesterday
And it's all you had to say
