A Short History of Nearly Everything
Reuben

Do you remember our best adventure?nStealing off to climb Westers Hill?nCreeping out of our house at midnight?nDo you remember on the way down after,nI cut my leg right open on that fence?nAnd I cried and I cried...nnIt was just a hill we climbednThat night, but it felt likenThe top of the world.nTop of the world, ma!nI'm on top of the world...nnOur teachers had faith in their lessons, their doctrine, nBut these facts are unreliable, these cracks are undeniable,nyou said.nnDo you feel the warmth beneath your feet?nThat's cos the earth is so very old...nThey should have warned us years ago.nWe should have been told that secret keptnBy Mum and DadnWhich covered everything...n'At first it's dark, and then it's light, and then it's dark again...'nn* * *nnYou're bleeding, but it's alright,n'Cos we'll stay awake the whole night.n'Cos I found a rock in an ancient place,nAnd it's older than the human race...nSo let's build a fire, a homing lightnFor astronauts and satellites.nFor scientists with soldier's hearts,nFor pioneers of earthly arts...nnYou and me, we're dead in the blink of an eye.nWe've been and gone...n ...we're dead in a blink of the earth's eye.n
