so when you have
cleaned out
the world
put all the things away
and scrubbed the sea beds
so they’re gleamning new again
ready to be roasted
then dear sun
then
we’ll be long gone
it’s looking like
we’re the only ones
and we’ll be gone
long gone
you’ll have lost us
the only success
we’ll be gone
mr. sun
long gone
the only ones
you mr. sun
by mistake
by weird luck
were the only one
the only sun
to have technoogy
not that you’ll ever realise
we’ll be long gone
mr. sun
long gone
so boil your seas
sheen the seabeds
we’ll be long gone
mr. sun
long gone
your greatest success
the greatest success
you’ll have lost it
mr. sun
you didn’t think to look
’cos you can’t
we’ll be gone
mr. sun
long gone
we’ve got a grasp of matter
we’ll get a grasp of time
we’ll be gone
mr. sun
long gone
