A team of astronauts falls down like shooting stars.

Some found their mothman and he never left their hearts.

Some chose to jump together

Not to burn alone.

Some men have broke their arms

From all the stones they've thrown.

And Jesus Christ can see so far atop his cross.

A soldier shuts his eyes

We thank him for his loss.

And Elvis Presley lives with all the ghost upstairs.

I hear their wishes and their footsteps and their cares.

 

Dead my eyes are sown

They bleed me.

They clip my hair and nails and keep them.

The rain that falls is slowly seeping

Through the ground into my evening.

Everybody dies they say.

Everybody dies someday.

So hold me in your arms and pray

Cause' everybody dies someday.

 

And all the angels laugh and cry with Jesse James.

They ride the train to meet the dead of Dalton's gang.

And Donnie Darko says that we all die alone.

Or did he make his peace with God and go on home?

And Patsy Cline is walking past the midnight hour.

The witches must be near the cream has all gone sour.

I hear those men inside their sinking submarine.

I hear the voice of the girl who died when I was just sixteen.

 

Dead my eyes are sown

They bleed me.

They clip my hair and nails and keep them.

The rain that falls is slowly seeping

Through the ground into my evening.

 

Everybody dies they say.

Everybody dies someday.

So hold me in your arms and pray.

Cause' everybody dies someday.

And everybody dies someday.

Everybody dies they say.

So hold me in your arms and pray.

Cause' everybody dies someday.

 

And dead my eyes still weep

They sowed them.

And dead my lips still speak 

They sowed them.

They drain my blood

Into their coldness.

But James Dean said they can't fucking hold us.

And everybody dies they say.
 

And everybody dies someday.
 

So hold me in your arms and pray

Cause' everybody dies someday.
