Crying About the Planets - Ratboys

Laying out, upon the ground

It started when he vanished

The sledge crept up to the mouth

Slipping into crevasses

A broken lieutenant

Strong wind and pale light

His body fell into the ice

Once or twice, I thought I might

Take my life and throw it

Into that great abyss

But, I must admit I’d be remiss

If I didn’t tell you

That I can’t quit this

Hell is frozen, and it’s relentless

Eat my dogs, one by one

And cry about the planets

In this ceaseless stretch of white

Will I ever live to go

Back to Australia?

The red rocks glow at night

It’s tough to recall because everything is white

Every last one of them is gone

Every last one of them is gone

Every last one of them is gone

Every last one of them is gone

Every last one of them is dead

Every last one of them is dead

Every last one of them is dead

Every last one of them is dead
