What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
From the Arizona desert to the Salisbury Plain
2
Lights on the horizon patterns on the grain
3
Anxious eyes turned upward clutching souvenirs
4
Carrying our highest hopes and our darkest fears
5
They swear there was an accident back in '47
6
Little man with a great big head splattered down from heaven
7
Government conspiracy, cover-ups and lies
8
Hidden in the desert under endless skies
9
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
10
Post, postmodern world
11
No time for heroes, no place for good guys
12
No room for Rocky, the flying squirrel
13
They're not here, they're not coming
14
Not in a million years
15
Turn your weary eyes back homeward
16
Stop your trembling, dry your tears
17
You may see the heavens flashing
18
You may hear the cosmos humming
19
But I promise you, my brother
20
They're not here, they're not coming
21
Would they pile into the saucer
22
Find Orlando's rat and hug it?
23
Go screaming through the universe
24
Just to get McNuggets?
25
Well, I don't think so, I don't think so
26
It's much too dangerous, it's much too strange
27
Here in a world that won't give Oprah
28
No home on the range
29
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
30
Post, postmodern world
31
No authenticity, no sign of soul
32
The radio won't play George and Merle
33
They're not here, they're not coming
34
Not in a million years
35
'Til we put away our hatred
36
'Til we lay aside our fears
37
You may see the heavens flashing
38
You may hear the cosmos humming
39
But I promise you, my sister
40
They're not here, they're not coming
41
To this garden we were given
42
And always took for granted
43
Well, it's like my daddy told me
44
You just bloom where you're planted
45
Now you long to be delivered
46
From this world of pain and strife
47
That's a sorry substitution
48
For a spiritual life
49
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
50
Post, postmodern world
51
No place for sentiment, no room for romance
52
Bring back the Duke of Earl
53
They're not here, they're not coming
54
Not in a million years
55
Turn your hopes back homeward
56
Hold your children, dry their tears
57
You may see the heavens flashing
58
You may hear the cosmos humming
59
But I promise you, my brother
60
They're not here, they're not coming
61
They're not here, they're not coming
62
Not in a million years
63
'Til we put away our hatred
64
And lay aside our fears
65
You may see the heavens flashing
66
You may hear the cosmos humming
67
But I promise you, my brother
68
They're not here, they're not coming
