How The World Began Lyrics - Artist : Jukebox The Ghost
It starts the same as any day
The highest all-time tidal wave We'd seen it before so we weren't afraid That's how the world began Sun so hot that the hills caught flame Man, you shoulda seen it when it hit L.A. It was sad but it was funny, it's hard to explain That's how the world began And a brand moon was born from the deep And the water sent waves, evenly spaced They made lines on the shore To indicate when the holy days were coming No more beasts or locusts or rising waters Third world parents with first world daughters No need for money, for guns, for banks That's how the world, that's how the world began That's how the world began Strangers came on the very next day As to the reason why, they didn't say There were abandoned cars on the interstate That's how the world began Everything came flooding back in a rush Your first real love, your high school crush Nothing else seemed to mean very much That's how the world began And the brand new moon that was born from the deep Hung out over so low I went out to see people out in the streets Hands in the air to carve their names in the surface No more floods or plagues or pestilence No more swords on loan from a government There's no need for guns, for money, for banks That's how the world, that's how the world began Isn't it amazing? The scenery never stops changing There's a song between stations, it just takes a little patience And we took all our phones, and we made a great fire And we shook off our bones, and we chanted around the pyre And we danced 'til our feet couldn't stand And we swam til we couldn't see land Drunk on a world I'll never understand But they say it's for the good of man Let me end with the good news: Nothing to win, nothing to lose Nowhere to be, nothing to do That's how the world, that's how the world began |
