Mysteries Of The Unexplained

written by Tanya Donelly

.


i heard a song
i heard the saddest song on
W S U K

they play it every other hour
of every other day
'cause the greaser sent them t's and toys
for regular airplay

all your heroes are whores
all your heroes

'cause it's a tinkertoy world
wouldn't buy a chance to leave it

'cause sometimes...

it rains fish
from the sky
and the statues all start to cry
and someone writes another beautiful song

and anyway
i predict
the next meteor to hit will be a monster
will be a monster
and i for one am looking forward to it

i saw a movie
i saw the saddest film where
everyone got killed
and the crowd went wild

i didn't understand the end
i couldn't spot a good guy
all your heroes are whores
all your heroes...

'cause it's a tinkertoy world
wouldn't buy a chance to leave it

(yeah)
yeah-eah
'cause it's a tinkertoy world
wouldn't buy a chance to go

'cause sometimes...

it rains fish
from the sky
and the statues all start to cry
and someone writes another beautiful song

and anyway
i predict
the next meteor to hit will be a monster
will be a monster
and i for one am looking forward to it

i had a dream
a shining bright city
perfect and clean

i made a wish...
for a sky full of fish
