Thinkin' 06:35
moon shinin' i'm triple star slanted (orion) i'm thinkin on how to save the planet because years of neglect because we haven't turn out yet because all the time will run up and the Rain Slayer will be enough we gotta act now we gotta go and think about the future oh you've been gazin' long tryin' sing your cold heart along you say the time isn't right for you but the starry night is aligned so true you see all the crooked lines from all the lyin' people crimin' and climbin' up on your face for this compromise Lord lost in this rat race so take the time take it up cuz the fire's gold will be enough we gotta act now we gotta go and think about the future we can't live in a past pastime paradise no more we can only live in that next place on the horizon better greater than we know
