Fizzle

from the album Kick and Scream If it fizzles like a dying sun And everything comes undone We still got to be someone Here he's sitting where he belongs Singing his little song and Wishing you'd sing along It seemed strong, but it was as stable as a whisper in the wind For every star that starts, another one gets torn apart A half-century sawing logs and now I'm double chinned I can't say right or wrong, but I can say it won't be long And if it fizzles like a dying sun And everything comes undone We still got to be someone Here he's sitting where he belongs Singing his little song and Wishing you'd sing along Find the empathy Sing the harmony Climb aboard and we'll paddle on the choppy sea There's no point saying what's allowed to a mushroom cloud You can yell 'til you're red in the face Hell, you might as well shout it into outer space There's no sense in us mending the shirt when they're tearing it at the seams They barely know what it means But they want to blow it all to smithe
