THE FLAT EARTH

The Flat Earth by Thomas Dolby (lyrics below)



The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any shape at all
Dark and cold or bright and warm
Long or thin or small
But it's home and all I ever had
And maybe why for me the Earth is flat

Friends have often asked me why
I'm sensitive about my height
I would look around and say
Hmm, I thought I was immune

All my life I have waited
to be given any word
It was screaming to be heard

Please remember...

The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any shape at all
Dark and cold or bright and warm
Long or thin or small
But it's home and all I ever had
And maybe why for me the Earth is flat

Turn the island to the storm tonight

Then when they spill the demon seed
Turn and face into the wind
All along you still believed
Believed you were immune

And if love is all you're missing
Look into your heart
Is anybody home ?

Please remember ...

The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any in the world

But don't you point that raygun at me
I might just explode

There are stars buried in your soul
And only a fool would blame the death of rock and roll, yeah

And in time you'll come to understand
This flat old Earth is in your gentle hands
