lyrics

An asteroid is coming
I read it in a magazine
It’s gonna come incredibly close
Tall as the Empire State Building
Chaos on the doorstep
I tell you we should hide
Stockpile jars of jelly
Clean the sleeping bags, stock up on wine

You say this could be our big chance
Hot glue and cardboard boxes
Together we can build a rocket

And we can launch a rocket to the sky
Or we can dig a cellar to hide in
Or maybe we can strike a balance, unroll the hammock
Hold each other through the panic
Maybe it’s a prophet with a prize
Hark the herald angels singing
When the rocking of the cosmos sways us
Love will save us
From asteroids and chaos

The pasta shelves are empty
There’s panic on the news
I’m crying in the front yard
Thinking about everything we’ll lose
I hear music from the house
You swing the windows open wide
Raise two crystal glasses
Say today you’re pouring the good wine

You say if this is our last dance
Let’s not waste a minute
If I get one wish, baby, you’re it

And we can launch a rocket to the sky
Or we can dig a cellar to hide in
Or maybe we can strike a balance, unroll the hammock
Hold each other through the panic
Maybe it’s a prophet with a prize
Hark the herald angels singing
When the rocking of the cosmos sways us
Love will save us
From asteroids and chaos

While we’re alone together
I know what might make us feel better

And we can launch a rocket to the sky
Or we can dig a cellar to hide in
Or maybe we can strike a balance, unroll the hammock
Hold each other through the panic
Maybe it’s a prophet with a prize
Hark the herald angels singing
When the rocking of the cosmos sways us
Love will save us
From asteroids and chaos
