And they say
That the sky is falling
Or something like that

And they say
That a great fire is coming
All the blue will turn to black

I see the woods are burning
All over the world tonight
And all the lovers are crying
As the airplanes take flight

And they say
That the birds are dying
And the songs is suddenly going out of tune

And they know
The ones up there are lying
As they sing the cry that it's too late too soon

The plastic bags are sailing
All over the world tonight
And all the lovers are crying
As the airplanes take flight

And the say
That today your leaving
And you won't begin to even tell me why
But if I ever needed proof that we was ending
Tonight hope was far away in your eye

The plastic bags are sailing
Over the deep brown sea
And all the fish are not swimming
??
