Apart Together - Tim Minchin

KCRW

On the way to a show

Heard the story of an elderly couple

Found dead in their mobile home

They’d been there a month they say

Seemed to be no decay

I guess the upside of freezing to death

Is that you tend to stay that way

Locked in each other’s arms

Eyes closed and faces calm

They may have lain there ‘til spring

If it weren’t for the ping of their smoke alarm

God sure works in mysterious ways

Died of power bills left unpaid

Found by a nighbour who heard the ping

Dropped around offering

Double As

I think this could last forever

Girl let’s fall apart together

I can handle the entropy

If you promise to stay with me

I give you my heart knowing things fall apart

Praying you will decay with me

Locked in each other’s arms

Eyes closed and faces calm

In the morning a new life will dawn

So maybe don’t set the alarm

Baby I think this could last forever

Girl let’s fall apart together

Girl let’s fall apart together
