lonesome friends of science
Singer:prine, john
the lonesome friends of science say
the world will end most any day
'cause i don't live here anyway
i live down deep inside my head
i get my mail in tennessee
poor ol' planet pluto now
he never stood a chance no how
once a mighty planet there
now just an ordinary star
in some ol' funky sushi bar
the lonesome friends of science say
the world will end most any day
'cause i don't live here anyway
i live down deep inside my head
i get my mail in tennessee
the vulcan lives in birmingham
sometimes he just don't give a damn
his head is full of bumblebees
his pride hangs down below his knees
for a guy named mars from idaho
the vulcan sent a wedding gift
three-legged stool and a wheelchair lift
the lonesome friends of science say
this world will end most any day
'cause i don't live here anyway
i live down deep inside my head
i get my mail in tennessee
those bastards in their white lab coats
who experiment with mountain goats
should leave the universe alone
i go to sleep and it never rains
my dog predicts a hurricane
she just smell a storm a mile away
that's all the news we have today
the lonesome friends of science say
this world will end most any day
'cause i don't live here anyway
i live down deep inside my head
i get my mail in tennessee
