Automatic Doom - Yo La Tengo

Is there an automatic doom that’s waiting for you?

Can there already be a bullet with your name emblazoned boldly?

As you lead your life with anxious and repetitive behavior

Automatic doom

Is there a magic floating chalice waiting for you?

And would you be depressed if you determined that your quest is over

And you lead your life with anxious and repetitive behavior

Automatic doom

Is there a crystal cosmic sparrow floating away?

Is there a neo-pterodactyl coming to prey?

Are you prepared to see the bad things that you say emblazoned boldly

In gold letters on your tomb?
