"Divine Intervention" lyrics
"Divine Intervention"
Yeah!
Walking down the street in New York City
A sandwich board read the end of the world is nigh
I looked up and saw the billionaires all scuttling
Scrambling to their bolt holes in the sky
Watch them fly!
But meanwhile we just keep on running
Going to the football every Saturday night
Yeah!
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I'm going to dance in the flames, yeah
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And life is a gambling game
It's a gambling game
Driving down an alley in a run-down part of Hollywood
Saw her neon light at the psychic's sign
Through the gloom I asked her, "What's my future?"
Well, she threw up and then broke down and cried
Tears in her eyes
But I kept moving on to Silverhead
To play guitar with a brand-new friend of mine
Yeah!
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I'm gonna dance in the flames, yeah
'Cause divine intervention
Is out of the question
And life is a gambling game
It's a gambling game
Yeah!
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I'm going to dance in the flame, yeah
Divine intervention
Won't give you protection
And life is a gambling game
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Come on, yeah
Mmm, when the walls cave in
And the lights go dim
And I drag you out again
Well, dystopian values are too hot to handle
And I'm going out in a blaze
Can we run any faster?
It's a total disaster
I, I, I'm going down in the flames
Yeah, when they try to arrest you
I'll come to your rescue
Life is a gambling game

I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck

Oh, oh, oh
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
