8 1/2 Minutes Lyrics
The song 8 1/2 Minutes is performed by Dismemberment Plan .
Send 8 1/2 Minutes Ringtone to your Cell
Oh, launched all the world's nukes this morning
Hoping it would kick-start something
Some of them went off course and hit the moon instead
It was kinda pretty.
Hasn't been a whole lot of looting
On the other hand, oh, it's f**king freezing
Someone on TV said something about going undergroundâ¦
Guess we better start digging.
What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
I saw an astronomer break down on CNN
He said, âI'm a scientist, not your f**king clergyman!â
And no one's going nowhere 'cause the cars are all frozen
They give the power plants ten days
But the sky is like a dome of black metal flake
And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes
And a dead black disk slides silently overhead
It's f**king beautiful is what it is.
What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
When I die I'm going to heaven
Leave it to the cockroaches and the 7-11s
But it'd be nice to think we could get it right down here just onceâ¦
