"Front Row Seat" lyrics

As slowly as a yogi stretches at an unsafe park
I tiptoe toward the gravity of the predicament we're in
I'd prefer leaving tomorrow sitting firmly in the dark
Instead of facing one more tired vision of the end

But if that's the ball game
If the experiment's complete
And we both stand around
To watch it all come down
At least we got a front-row seat

I got good at changing subjects nearly everywhere I went
Until all my conversations all got too good to be true
This world can wax poetic about airborne toxic events
While I'll take the time that's left me, and I'll give it all to you

'Cause if that's the ball game
If the experiment's complete
And we both stand around
To watch it all come down
At least we got a front-row seat

If it's true that it's a curse to live in interesting times
Then why do I get butterflies as I peek over the ledge?
I'll bring the popcorn, you bring some wine
Just don't pay for the whole seat if all you needed was the edge

'Cause if that's the ball game
If the experiment's complete
And we both stand around
To watch it all come down
At least we got a front-row seat
At least we got a front-row seat
At least we got a front-row seat
