Seize the Day - Price of Petrol lyrics

< They're calling it a national disgrace, And further down the page I saw, The north pole has begun to thaw, Just like the ice we packed round Elkies head. A bed of ice to keep her body with us. I drove to get some more although I knew, The price of petrol in my car, Is every unacknowledged scar, We suffer on this road we didn't choose. Somebody greasing bombs with oily dollars, Denied us any greener avenue But hey it was a big mistake, It's not too late to hit the brakes There's still too many Elkies left to lose. We left her little coffin in the chapel, Where people turn to ashes on the air And everybody knew it then, We'd never see her face again Unless we get to heaven and she's there. And if you think that hell is where we're headed Then you don't know the people that I do People have such elegance, And natural intelligence In fact, somebody very much like you. 'cause I have every confidence in you now. Together we can figure something sane And like the love that Elkie gave, Our light will shine beyond the grave When little kids play in the streets again. ---- Like the love that Elkie gave, Our light will shine beyond the grave When little kids play in the streets again. > -->
