Lyrics

The lonesome friends of science say
 The world will end most any day
 Well, if it does, then that's okay
 'Cause I don't live here anyway
 I live down deep inside my head
 Well, long ago I made my bed
 I get my mail in Tennessee
 My wife, my dog and my family
 Poor old planet Pluto now
 He never stood a chance no how
 When he got uninvited to
 The interplanetary dance
 Once a mighty planet there
 Now just an ordinary star
 Hanging out in Hollywood
 In some old funky sushi bar
 The lonesome friends of science say
 The world will end most any day
 Well, if it does, then that's okay
 'Cause I don't live here anyway
 I live down deep inside my head
 Well, long ago I made my bed
 I get my mail in Tennessee
 My wife, my dog, my kids and me
 ♪
 The Vulcan lives in Birmingham
 Sometimes he just don't give a damn
 His head is full of bumblebees
 His pride hangs down below his knees
 Venus left him long ago
 For a guy named Mars from Idaho
 The Vulcan sent a wedding gift
 Three-legged stool and a wheelchair lift
 ♪
 The lonesome friends of science say
 This world will end most any day
 Well, if it does, then that's okay
 'Cause I don't live here anyway
 I live down deep inside my head
 Well, long ago I made my bed
 I get my mail in Tennessee
 My wife, my dog, my kids and me
 ♪
 Those bastards in their white lab coats
 Who experiment with mountain goats
 Should leave the universe alone
 It's not their business, not their home
 I go to sleep and it never rains
 My dog predicts hurricanes
 She can smell a storm a mile away
 That's all the news we have today
 ♪
 The lonesome friends of science say
 The world will end most any day
 Well, if it does, then that's okay
 'Cause I don't live here anyway
 I live down deep inside my head
 Well, long ago I made my bed
 I get my mail in Tennessee
 My wife, my dog, my kids and me
