Lyrics

Build us a vehicle

Expressing a desire to construct a means of transportation.

Set us a course

Indicating the need for a defined path or direction for the journey.

Pick up your sickle

Suggesting a readiness for action or work, using a sickle metaphorically.

Get on board

Inviting others to join and be part of the journey.


We're all going on a trip out

Repetition emphasizing the collective nature of the journey and the urgency to leave.

We're all going on a trip out

-

We're all getting, all getting out

-

Out with the daggers

Encouraging a departure from negative influences, possibly symbolic of removing obstacles.

Off with the gloves

-

There is so much

-

That you can loath

-

And I can't stop thinking about it

Reflecting on profound thoughts and challenges, acknowledging the significance of the situation.

And I can't stop working it out

-

It doesn't come much bigger than this

-

You see a point and you make a wish

Highlighting the power of making a wish when facing a critical moment.

Everything tragic

Addressing the removal of tragic elements, suggesting a desire for positive change.

Take it away

-

One fine day before the apocalypse

Describing a scene before a possible catastrophe, expressing uncertainty about its duration and direction.

And I know it's not impossible

-

From a hill top

-

Worn out short grass

-

I don't know how long it can last

-

Up then toward the see saw

-

Up then toward the gibberish

-

Up then toward being a bore

-

Up then toward the apocalypse

-

Build us a vehicle

Reiteration of the call to action and preparation for the journey.

Set us a course

-

Pick up your sickle

-

Get on board

-

Lonely are the brave

Reflecting on the challenges faced by courageous individuals, acknowledging fleeting moments of happiness.

There is a chance

-

Of happiness

-

Yeah, but it is over so fast

-

And I can't stop thinking about it

Continued contemplation of significant matters, persisting in the effort to understand.

And I can't stop working it out

-

No la dee da

Dismissive tone, rejecting superficiality and emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

No picnickers

-

Just party, party in a tweety land

-

How long, how long, how long?

Pondering the duration of a critical period or impending event.


One fine day before the apocalypse,

Reiteration of the scene before the potential apocalypse, questioning its inevitability and duration.

And I know it's not impossible.

-

From a hill top,

-

Worn out short grass,

-

I don't know how long it can last.

-

Up then toward the see saw.

-

Up then toward the gibberish.

-

Up then toward being a bore

-

Up then toward the apocalypse.

Emphasizing the direction towards a possible catastrophic event.
