Chicken Little Was Right

(album: Chalon Road - 1986)

Did ya hear what happened to the world today?
Somebody came an' they took it away
Wrapped it up in a wire net
Took it away an' it ain't back yet

We were waiting
We were watching
Yes, we knew it all along
You were wrong

Put it in a place where dead worlds lie
Underneath a tombstone, ten miles high
We're so safe, so secure
Heaven knows we're absolutely sure
Never grew up but now it's dead
What'd you suppose the epitaph read?
'We're so young, we're so good
Heaven knows we surely must endure'

We were waiting
We were watching
Yes, we knew it all along
You were wrong
Now, it's gone

And we saw the little squirrels
And we watched their thrifty deeds
Who prepared for winter's needs
And we planted
Planted lemon seeds!

If that there world comes back again
We'll be there, so let's be friends

We'll be waiting
We'll be watching
Yes, we've been here all along
Oh so long, so so long

Ehhh, ehhh, ehhh

Lemons growing on our tree
Lemonade for you and me
