The First Ones

Formless it stood before us
It covered the landscape
And ignored us
Winter came in strong with a strange storm
The acid snow kept us warm
And in that frightening scene
You comforted me in the snow
You said
'Baby, it's heavy but let's be the first ones to go'
Don't shed a tear it's a victimless crime
Let's be the first ones to go
Just hold me near one last time
Then let's be the first ones to go
Always dreamed of being successful
But couldn't determine
What that means, no
But now my feet are covered in water
The floods and the famine
Made me shorter
And when I look at you now
You show me how I can grow
You said
'Baby, it's heavy but let's be the first ones to go'
Don't shed a tear it's a victimless crime
Let's be the first ones to go
Just hold me near one last time
Then let's be the first ones to go
Don't shed a tear it's a victimless crime
Let's be the first ones to go
Just hold me near one last time
Then let's be the first ones to go
