Then We Can Go Last

 


Then We Can Go Last

 The lyrics are:

This is the next song in the possession album. Timmy, Bobby, and Father O'Malley, after hearing about bad stuff they might've done in past lives, decide to go with the girl to the sun. They, like the girl, are tired of being humans. Being human is dumb.

The hook came from a dream - "we can go last," so I decided to make it about not only the order in which people fly up to the sun, but also the idear of Timmy, Bobby, and Father O'Malley having the me-character's back. Like, they're behind her, and they literally have her back. Man, oh, man. I'm feeling kind of dumb because these lyrics might be a wee bit cryptic.

She can go first because she is in pain
She can go first cuz she forgot her name
She can go first, because her life has turned to shit

Then we can go last, we can go last
Then we can go last, we can go last
Whatever happens, we will be last
She is the first and we will be last

Being a man is ever so bad-scary
And now our plan is something we will carry
Out and we'll follow her up to the sun tonight

We got her back, we got her back
We got her back, we got her back
We got her back, and we can go last

We are feeling like we are broken phones
And we will be free from this flooded home
It's time to take us off life support
We are bleeding out, it's mission abort
Don't cry, we'll not fry, it is a good plan
We'll try, to not die, and we will be tan
In the sun, having fun, we'll not be with man
Day is done, time has run its course, do you understand?

We thought that we were gonna rescue our friend
But now it's clear that something else will happen
Now, it is time to go up to the sun tonight

We got her back, we got her back
We got her back, we got her back
So we'll go last, we can go last
She is the first, and we will be last

Here's the alternative player thingy, just in case the one up top doesn't work when you try to play it on your portable electronic device, laptop, or desktop computer:
