Reverend Horton Heat - Aw, The Humanity lyrics

Like a man in love must do I was moving in on you And I didn't care how long I'd have to wait I knew it was a bet But I now know better yet That the race was over right out of the gate Like a big dirigible ship At first a little blip Getting bigger, ever bigger in your sky But as I got overhead You dropped me like a ton of lead And I blew up in front of everybody's eyes Aw, the humanity! Aw, the humanity! Though it really wasn't clear What that guy meant when he said Aw, the humanity! Aw, the humanity! I was moving in on glory When all the sudden I was dead Like history being made It was watched by a brigade Like old news reels they show in matinees With the news reels in their eyes Even they were most surprised It unfolded in an unexpected way The Hindenburg of love Had me riding high above My head was floating lighter than the air But it ended in bad news Like someone lit a fuse And the explosion of my heart caused quite a blare Jones and Bonham, Plant and Page Put Led Zeppelin on a stage And the MetLife blimp put Snoopy in the sky Honey tell me, whats the deal? Why I'm now burning in a field? Was sabotage what made our romance die? You led me to the site That dark and fateful night My landing lines were out and hanging down But soon you lit a spark Just a small electric arc And history just came crashing to the ground Aw, the humanity! Aw, the humanity! Though it really wasn't clear What that guy meant when he said Aw, the humanity! Aw, the humanity! I was moving in on glory When all the sudden I was dead Aw, the humanity! Aw, the humanity! The announcers words were odd But I'm the one who tried to holler Aw, the humanity! Aw, the humanity! Our romance ended badly In an unexpected way
