Given Paradise
Everything you could dream of and more
The depths of oceans
Black holes and galaxies to explore.
Wonders of nature
And to finally know about quantum states.
All the time in the world
For a trillion minds to love and create.
Money in the bank
A college degree or two plastered on his wall.
Didn’t take that much
Before we were watching Humpty Dumpty fall.
Facing gravity
All that time holding the smoking gun
Late to realize
How quickly he was counting back to one.
You found your soul mate
Through years of pain and bad advice.
Manipulation,
From people that just don’t want to ‘play nice’….
Now your wedding date
Written in song and stone for all to see.
Becomes nothing more
Than another failed search for a bride to be.
How many people does it take
to really fuck things up?
To ruin a good party
or blow things apart?
How many does it take
For things to come undone?
Turns out, not that many.
It Only Takes One.
With a perfect plan
Everybody’s ready and willing to go.
The execution
Left a lot to be desired don’t you know?
No competition
No enemy trying to destroy what you made.
Reaching for the sun
Your only shot you just threw away.
How many people does it take to fuck things up?
To ruin a good party or blow things apart?
How many does it take for things to come undone?
Turns out, not many. It Only Takes One.
Given Paradise
Everything you could dream of and more.
The depths of oceans
Black holes and galaxies to explore.
Wonders of nature
And to finally know about quantum states.
All the time in the world
For a trillion minds to love and create.
It Only Takes One
It Only Takes One
