A Perfect Circle - So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish Lyrics

A Perfect Circle Lyrics

"So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish"

Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps
And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
In all its atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind

Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water
And guns, and plastic surgery
Like our Prince and Reenie's mom
All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call
In all its atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti

Hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Hip-hip hooray
Hip-hip hooray

Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind

Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps
And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
In all its atomic pageantry

"So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish" was released on April 15, 2018 as the fourth single off "Eat The Elephant" album.

The song's name comes from the name of the fourth book in Douglas Adams's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" comedy science fiction series.

The song's lyrics influenced by the deaths of celebrities in 2016 and 2017, including David Bowie, Gene Wilder, Muhammad Ali, Carrie Fisher and Prince.

"I think it was a big curveball for a lot of people to have that concentration of celebrities, people that are iconic, exit. I'm sure it's happened in prior generations – all of a sudden, an exodus – but the immediacy of social media made it more impactful with more of a rapid fire to be able to see that list every day of people that you were familiar with over the years passing. And at the age of 53, you start to take it pretty seriously." - Maynard James Keenan.
