There is always someplace safer than the playground
  So let's walk to our private beach at night
  We could always roll these drums down the sand dunes
  Into the surf and continue to think that they're safe, sealed up tight, up tight
  
  I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
  Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer
  
  Bobbing up and down in the waves with the moonbeams
  They shine like turtles' backs in bleach and I,
  I hope that they'll be sinking soon under the seaweed
  'Cause inside the atoms are moving and helping the fish grow extra eyes
  
  I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
  Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer
  To heat my house a little longer
  
  I'll be gone before the things that I go now go wrong
  Family tree is burning to heat my house a little longer
  To heat the house a little longer
  
  Now that all the poison's taken off our red hands
  It's percolating in the deep blue dump
  We'll be counting pay cheques, with all the zeros
  Mother of nature has gone to the doc for a test, she's found a lump
  
  I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
  Family tree is burning to heat the house a little longer
  
  I'll be gone before the things that I do now go wrong
  Family tree is burning to heat the house a little longer
  We'll move on to planets where we don't belong
  Family tree is burning the rocket's waiting on the lawn
  The rocket's waiting on the lawn
