When all the satellites fall from the sky
When all our data has been hacked by
Some kid in a basement with mud in his eye
Well I'll still be loving you
When all our credit cards have been maxed
When all the clean air in our lungs has been taxed
And everyone swallows the alternative facts
Well I'll still be loving you
‘Cause though the world is in a death spin
I cannot lose what I cannot win
It doesn't change a single damn thing
That I’ll still be loving you
When the economy's growth is in decline
We're slowly sinking in cold blue brine
And a fiddler scratches out Auld Lang Syne
Well I’ll still be loving you
When all liberty has been seized
By the oligarch's and megalomaniac’s squeeze
And we're warmed by a radiation breeze
Well I’ll still be loving you
‘Cause though the world is in a death spin
I cannot lose what I cannot win
It doesn't change a single damn thing
That I'll still be loving you
For I'll remember your kind loving touch
It's my very last mental crutch
It may mean to you nothing much
But I'll still be loving you
I will still be loving you...always
Now mass extinction is all but complete
Closed the buffet of all-you-can-eat
And my phone counts down my very last heartbeat
But I'm still here…
Yeah I'm still here loving you...always

Grass Is Greener

This is it, my love
The time has come
Time to undo
What is over and done
I can't take these orders
From you anymore
I'm tightening up that old belt (again)
And closing the door
For there's too many strangers
Coming in through here
And if dark clouds that are gathering
Must be your fault, my dear
Well it’s 45 years
Since you were my bride
And now the grass is always greener
On the other side
Well remember back when
A bit before we met
I was handsome & strong
I’d never broken a sweat
Well I'm going back there
Cause I was free to roam
Yes, riding my wild gold unicorns
& not tied to this stone
And though we haven’t had a fight
We've argued like hell
& I always fancied my chances
Hey well couldn't ya tell?
Now seems hanging out
Has made a dint on my pride
And the grass is always greener
On the other side
So this is it, my love
The time has come
Time to undo
What is over and done
Now I want to eat the whole cake
& I won’t be denied
As the grass is always greener…on the other side
