The Menzingers
Strawberry Mansion
[Verse 1]
Hurtlin' towards the Earth, set the atmosphere on fire
And then we'll put another notch in the Kuiper
Climb down from the trees to die from a disease
Brought back from the dead by the liars
[Refrain]
I don't mind
I'll stay behind
[Verse 2]
Transmission in static, the silent monastic
Exiled to an island of plastic
Waiting on translation, the fool's coronation
A permanent summer vacation
[Refrain]
I don't mind
I'll stay behind
[Chorus]
Set a course for the sun
Into bittersweet oblivion
The time has come, the rain is gone
Back to hell where we belong
[Verse 3]
The games we've been playin', the real estate is changin'
The mountainsides and rivers to lake beds
Concrete to dust, iron to rusted
Statues reign over the ocean
[Refrain]
I don't mind
I'll stay behind
[Chorus]
Set a course for the sun
Into bittersweet oblivion
The time has come, the rain is gone
Back to hell where we belong
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Set a course for the sun
To bittersweet oblivion
The time has come, the rain is gone
Back to hell where we belong
