Aliens
03:30

When aliens arrive, they will perceive us as aliens
When aliens arrive, we must receive them as friends
When aliens arrive, exhausted from their journey
We must help them survive our alien atmosphere

Superpowers

And if I could see the future, I would use my power to warn you
And if I had the strength of thousands, I would crush your enemies.
And if I had telekinesis, I would twitch your lips in a smile
And if I was invisible I would stand guard over you
You were strong in the face of the cruel joke nature played on you
And you belong in the rarefied pantheon of my heroes
And if I could be miniaturised I'd use my bare hands to fight the infection
And if I could do superscience I'd find the poison that poisons the poison
If my stride was as wide as the ocean I would leap your bedside
If I could choose my superpower, I would choose to be more like you
If I could choose my superpower I would choose to be you
You were strong in the face of the cruel joke nature played on you
And you belong in the rarefied pantheon of my heroes
You were strong in the face of the cruel joke nature played on you
And you belong in the rarefied pantheon of my heroes

End of the world
04:56

We held a party at the end of the world
We held a disco for the end of time
We held a rave for the death of the universe
And there were fireworks
There was a cage and a stage and a smoke machine
There was a bouncer selling tabs at the bar
There was a girl in a silver bikini
And a bogan with a crimson guitar
Dance til you die
And as the sky was exploding around us
We chose whether to laugh or to cry
We turned our backs on the DJ
And we hugged each other goodbye
Dance til you die

Dust
03:23

Watch me denature and rust
Watch me spontaneously combust
Witness my entropic decline
Watch my DNA unwind
We are just temporary lives
We are a collection of knives
Snagged in the fabric of time
Life's short...make the best of it
We are just a coincidence
A lucky alignment of chance
There is no reason or rhyme
There's just the sharing of this moment in time
It would be cool to be birds in the sky
Just a flap of the wings and we're high
But you can't fight gravity's pull
Stay grounded...make the best of it
There's only one truth you can trust
We will decay into dust
Our matter cannot be destroyed
But our atoms will be redeployed
We are just temporary lives
We are a collection of knives
Snagged in the fabric of time
Life's short...make the best of it
