What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
From the Arizona desert
2
To the Salisbury plain
3
Lights on the horizon
4
Patterns on the grain
5
Anxious eyes turned upward
6
Clutching souvenirs
7
Carrying our highest hopes and our darkest fears
8
They swear there was an accident back in '47
9
Little man with a great big head
10
Splattered down from heaven
11
Government conspiracy; cover-ups and lies
12
Hidden in the desert under endless skies
13
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
14
Post, postmodern world
15
No time for heroes, no place for good guys
16
No room for rocky the flying squirrel
17
They're not here, they're not coming
18
Not in a million years
19
Turn your weary eyes back homeward
20
Stop your trembling, dry your tears
21
You may see the heavens flashing
22
You may hear the cosmos humming
23
But I promise you, my brother
24
They're not here, they're not coming
25
Would they pile into the saucer
26
Find Orlando's rat and hug it?
27
Go screaming through the universe
28
Just to get Mcnuggets?
29
Well, I don't think so, I don't think so
30
It's much too dangerous, it's much too strange
31
Here in a world that won't give Oprah no home on the range
32
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
33
Post, postmodern world
34
No authenticity, no sign of soul
35
The radio won't play George and Merle
36
They're not here, they're not coming
37
Not in a million years
38
'Til we put away our hatred
39
'Til we lay aside our fears
40
You may see the heavens flashing
41
You may hear the cosmos humming
42
But I promise you, my sister
43
They're not here, they're not coming
44
To this garden we were given
45
And always took for granted
46
It's like my daddy told me, 'you just bloom where you're planted'
47
Now you long to be delivered
48
From this world of pain and strife
49
That's a sorry substitution for a spiritual life
50
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
51
Post, postmodern world
52
No place for sentiment, no room for romance
53
Bring back the duke of earl
54
They're not here, they're not coming
55
Not in a million years
56
Turn your hopes back homeward
57
Hold your children, dry their tears
58
You may see the heavens flashing
59
You may hear the cosmos humming
60
But I promise you, my brother
61
They're not here, they're not coming
62
They're not here, they're not coming
63
Not in a million years
64
'Til we put away our hatred
65
And lay aside our fears
66
You may see the heavens flashing
67
You may hear the cosmos humming
68
But I promise you, my brother
69
They're not here, they're not coming
