lyrics
hey little bag of sugar
floating in your biosphere
summon the courage
to put down your landing gear
and come out here
cuz i am as exhausted
as a drowning polar bear
swimming around looking for a ride
and it's so god-awful hot outside
and quit kicking me in the rib
every time adam tells what he did
man creates woman, he says
sweeping his hand through the air
like mister show biz
you're gonna love this world
if it's the last thing i do
the whole extravagant joke
topped in bittersweet chocolate goo
for someone who ain't even here yet
look how much the world loves you
look how much the world loves you
the candles are burning down
the music is fading
your piñata is torn
it is time to be born
death is at the door
peddling that old fashioned
blood and gore
here at the house of creation
cue the sobering moment
of revelation
you're gonna love this world
if it's the last thing i do
the whole extravagant joke
topped in bittersweet chocolate goo
for someone who ain't even here yet
look how much the world loves you
look how much the world loves you
floating in your biosphere
summon the courage
to put down your landing gear
and come out here
cuz i am as exhausted
as a drowning polar bear
swimming around looking for a ride
and it's so god-awful hot outside
and quit kicking me in the rib
every time adam tells what he did
man creates woman, he says
sweeping his hand through the air
like mister show biz
you're gonna love this world
if it's the last thing i do
the whole extravagant joke
topped in bittersweet chocolate goo
for someone who ain't even here yet
look how much the world loves you
look how much the world loves you
the candles are burning down
the music is fading
your piñata is torn
it is time to be born
death is at the door
peddling that old fashioned
blood and gore
here at the house of creation
cue the sobering moment
of revelation
you're gonna love this world
if it's the last thing i do
the whole extravagant joke
topped in bittersweet chocolate goo
for someone who ain't even here yet
look how much the world loves you
look how much the world loves you
