Lyrics

No search party came so my nails grew and sharpened They kicked at my cane, it was like I never happened Who will look after me? When I'm cursed just like a Kennedy As with billboards consume, as with slogans on sweatshirts If nobody moves, nobody will get hurt Our chest puffed proudly, "us and the Almighty must feed" It's getting closer, it's getting closer Closer every day Committees were formed, we save face, we stay calm We drilled our air holes, cashed in our savings bonds And we licked every nine volt that's inside our fire alarms When your work here is done and fingers are calloused Gather hair in a tail, let sun hit your iris We're animated meat, accepting complete The infidelity of the body It's getting closer, it's right around the corner Something is coming for me It's getting closer, it's getting closer to me Do you want this? You can have this If it's something you need Then stretch out your skeletons and grab it, and grab it And we won't go in style, we'll go out in one piece And honest to God, he got rid of us easy Our lumbering bodies that we have to feed Put to bed, take to the bathroom It's getting closer, it's right around the corner Something is coming for me It's getting closer, it's getting closer to me And we'll spit shine our shoes and push down our cowlicks And tailor our suits and suck in our stomachs And try to ignore that we're all aboard the Titanic And we'll keep making plans we gather, we're grooming We laugh and you think You will feel as you know me But know from the start that you're flying with Amelia Earhart, Amelia Earhart It's getting closer, it's getting closer Closer every day It's easier for me to just plain believe We are not softened up by the Morlocks Try to ignore that you're all aboard the titanic Try to ignore that you're all aboard the titanic
