When the time comes
That you're no longer there
Fall down to my knees
Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win

Slow down, little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
Standing at the edge of your town
With the skylight in your eyes
Reaching out to gods
The sun says its goodbyes

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth

Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives
Until our cover's blown
I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly nightime has begun

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth

Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh, come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth
The surface of the earth

First listen, first bars, first thought: "These guys should have gone to bed instead of stay up/drunk, pounding out a song...." then he sings, "Words spill from my drunken mouth." Yup.

Harry Chapin on speed? I actually really like this. Solid eight and I bet by the third listen it'll be a nine.

Sounds like Nick Cave fronting Arctic Monkeys!

Rock on Garth!

This is a tough group. I'm surprised by the low rating of this song.

I like this band.  Saw them on Jools Holland's show and they are great live.
