Out For A Walk

(album: The Flaming Lips - 1984)

I went out for a walk in the morning
What did I see?
A great big hole in the ground where the world used to be
And it smelled like it'd been burned
And it wasn't gonna turn
And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today

I went out for a walk in the morning
To see my friend
And discovered that the planet had come to an end
And it didn't take too long
And I knew that it was wrong
And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today

It smelled like it'd been burned
And it wasn't gonna turn
And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today

I went out for a walk in the morning
To smell the air
I breathed it in and there was nothing there
My lungs get full of pain
And I'm drinking acid rain
And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today
