Well wood burns
And metal rusts
So darling what will become of us?
When the weather turns
And they say it must
We'll need coats for the both of us
But the wool is thin
And it's full of holes
And there's no heat in this abandoned bus
So will we go alone
Out on our own
Oh darling what will become of us?
Well boats sink into the sea
And aeroplanes crash like computer screens
And signals fail
And trains derail
And car bonnets crumple like magazines
Till they're in a pile
Like stacks of tiles
In a yard full of fridges and broken stuff
So will we go alone
Out on our own
Oh darling what will become of us?
We will bite our noses off
To spie our faces
Both of us
Will rust like metal fences in the rain
You will pour the gasoline
And I will spark the matches
We will burn within our fire
We will burn within our flame
Well yeast ferments
And milk sours
When it's out of the fridge for too many hours
Well we'll ement
In separate towers
Never knowing if we're brave or if we're cowards
And if we pour cement down this hole of ours
Well we'll be stuck under stones and flowers
Will we go alone
Out on our own
Oh darling that's what will become of us
