Eventually he became part of the history of the world
He started killing men and he ain't well
Scattered their bones across the sky
Came down from the city
Caused a rumble when he did fly
Ball-peen head and opium eyes
He became watchful and so did I
He kept moving and so did I
And flew clear and so did I
The world moved and so did I, my wife and my children

Scattered their bones across the sky
Came down from the city
Caused a rumble when he did fly
Ball-peen head and opium eyes
He became watchful and so did I
He kept moving and so did I
He flew clear and so did I
He flew clear and so did I
The world moved and so did I, my wife and my children
