lyrics

It’s still turning
And you’ll soon be learning
How to repair it before it breaks
Will you forgive us?
And as you outlive us
Please don’t repeat all the same mistakes we made
This was out gift to you
Sorry it’s worn right through

Don’t sit on fences
Rely on the senses
Try to decipher the truth from lies
Patterns are shifting
And levels are lifting
And it’s been falling apart right before our eyes and now
This was our gift to you
Sorry it’s worn right through
And sorry to leave you so much to do

Chorus:
Well what will we say
To the children
When it’s time to go?
When it’s too late
To make a difference
In the final throes


And maybe you’ll be there
See the man in the big chair
Watch his machines as they grind to a halt
And crowns will be falling
But mother is calling
And she doesn’t care if it’s not you fault so here
This was our gift to you
Sorry it’s worn right through
And sorry to leave you so much to do
