Lyrics
I woke up one morn, the world had gone Kaboom
And I ended up in my little room
Soon we blasted off, oh-so long good-bye
In a low Earth orbit, I saw you go by
Worried we were wondering, will we ever touch the ground
Here we are, here we wait, waiting to touch down
I am feeling a little numb, will tomorrow ever come
Here we are, here we wait, will ever ever come
Hiding in plain sight, we adapt or die
This is what we're doing, sometimes I just cry
Survival depends, how careful we react
The havoc that is wrought, and we don't get wacked
Whether we can live, whatever that remains
And what remains, it may never be the same
I am feeling a little numb, will tomorrow ever come
Here we are, here we wait, will ever ever come
Remember Godzilla, how he rose up
Walked into the city ready to clean up
As he stomped on by, some standing their ground
Mostly they got squished, buildings falling down
The smart ones would hide and wait, till the Calvary came to town
With a plan for them to take, take Godzilla down
I am feeling a little numb, will tomorrow ever come
Here we are, here we wait, will ever ever come
I woke up one morn, the world had gone Kaboom
And I ended up in my little room
