Lyrics
[Verse 1] There's nothing much hanging from the tree in the Garden of Eden It takes a long long time for the fruit to ripen on the vine We better get together or we'll end up on the roof with a shotgun Because a chance, we've only got one It's never very smart to try and strip the bark from an old tree We've been digging up the dirt since the rocks of the earth were still warm Now old king coal is dying, he was nevеr gonna last the long run You know a chance, we'vе only got one [Chorus] At the time of writing, we were in our heads At the time of writing, we were good as dead At the time of writing At the time of writing, we were fast asleep At the time of writing, we were in too deep At the time of writing [Verse 2] Wait a little while, your eyes will realign into the darkness There's an ice-melt below us, bamboo curtains above Our ocean moat protects us, our friends will surely come You know a chance, we've only got one [Chorus] At the time of writing, we were in our heads At the time of writing, we were good as dead At the time of writing At the time of writing, we were fast asleep At the time of writing, we were in too deep At the time of writing [Bridge] They make no apologies for this Make no apologies for anything They make no apologies for this Make no apologies for everything We are not responsible for this We're not responsible for everything We are not responsible for this We're not responsible for everything [Chorus] At the time of writing, we were in our heads At the time of writing, we were good as dead At the time of writing At the time of writing, we were fast asleep At the time of writing, we were in too deep At the time of writing [Post-Chorus] At the time of writing, we were on the brink At the time of writing, still had time to think At the time, at the time, at the time, at the time, at the time Right now
