There the First Time

Get a good run at it Whip the horse and rattle The station of state a bit A universe of battle Every second a sun Somewhere one dies No heaven's heir apparent There the first time Well I know this feeling I get it all the time Every second a sun Somewhere one dies Time to get on with it The prison and the shackles Colonise you brick by brick Leading by example Sun up Sun down Two hundred species die Crawled off a cliff There the first time Well I know the reasons I used them all the time From sun up To sun down From sun up To sun down I believe In the power of an ocean A trillion miles bereaved But there the first time There the first time From sun up To sun down From sun up To sun down There the first time From sun up To sun down There the first time There the first time There the first time There the first time
