Turquoise

[Verse 1]
The smell of me, the spell of meat
Are two sides of the same coin, boy
I'm an apple rotten to the core
You silly thing, why did you think
We were meant to be something more
Than a butcher's cut in a meat store
To think we used to live in fear of the atom bomb
Now we're ordering our sandwiches from shit.com

[Chorus]
The world tipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live? Oh, maybe you don't wanna live

The world tipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live? Oh maybe you don't wanna live
Oh!

[Verse 2]
The rhapsody, the melody
But the poor conductor fell into the bin
Must've had it spelled out boy
As mother nature bleeds and bleeds, the orchestra covers up for it
But it's not a sound I can say I enjoy
Used to be, we understood how it all went wrong
But I don't pay for protection, I just sing along

[Chorus]
The world flipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live? Oh maybe you don't wanna live

The world tipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live? Oh maybe you don't wanna live
No!

[Verse 3]
The network news puked all over itself
I don't know what they say
Something something about public health
And one day it might go away
It's so hard to arrive at what we must do
It's so hard to be alive when I can't be with you

It's like an alien invasion
Under stress we suppress
The spread of information
Spreading fear, spreading love
I am here, I'm what you're afraid of
'Til then come on feel the noise
Protect yourself with turquoise

[Outtro]
The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)
The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)
The world flipped on its side
The world flipped on its side
The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)
The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)

The world flipped on its side
