There used to be an annoying TV show called the land of the lost

Its kind of an insight into the downfall of mankind, if you will

The moral of the story is there is no moral

If you missed it today, you can always watch it tomorrow

I had a nightmare that Nietzsche was dressed up as a clown

I was just about to jump off a bridge, he said to me, "don't look down"

If it ain't here, it doesn't really matter where you go

The moral of the story is there is no moral

What I've been trying to say is what I've been saying all along

I had a dream there was a mermaid, swimming in my bathtub

She said, "life is like an airplane it'll crash before long"

So don't look down, don't look down, don't look down, it'll go away

Spotlights painted the building and the people gathered for the show

And the evening news people sat in their chairs, and waited for their makeup

And the police controlling the crowd on the street well, they didn't think to look up

And it suddenly seemed like the world had turned the other way

As if the sun had come out at night

Changing the darkness into day

Perhaps we are most peaceful when our sanity's on edge

Cause no one bothered to wonder who the guy was, standing on the ledge

Just don't look down, don't look down, don't look down

It'll go away.

Don't look down, don't look down.

Don't look down.

Just push.
