Before  the Earth was round,
Oh  there was no end  to things.
And  no one tried to measure,
What  they knew.
Everything  was war,
 But everyone knew love.
And  every contradiction was true.
 The Sun worked twice as hard,
 And the Moon was twice as far.
And  the sky was still honestly blue.
 The sky was still honestly blue.
When  the time came,
Everything  spiralled  in.
Everyone forgot  what  they knew.
War  became a job,
 And love became a mystery.
 And heart  and head were rent into two.
 Fear and doubt began,
 And God threw up his hands,
 And the sky  didn't know what to do.
 The sky  didn't know what to do.
 The song fades out playing about on the F, G, C thing.
