The Lonesome Friends of Science Lyrics
[Chorus]
The lonesome friends of science say
"The world will end most any day"
Well, if it doesn't, that's okay
'Cause I don't live here anyway
I live down deep inside my head
Well, long ago I made my bed
I get my mail in Tennessee
My wife, my dog and my family
[Verse 1]
Poor ol' planet Pluto now
He never stood a chance no how
When he got uninvited to
The interplanetary dance
Once a mighty planet there
Now just an ordinary star
Hanging out in Hollywood
In some ol' funky sushi bar
[Chorus]
The lonesome friends of science say
"The world will end most any day"
Well, if it doesn't, that's okay
'Cause I don't live here anyway
I live down deep inside my head
Well, long ago I made my bed
I get my mail in Tennessee
My wife, my dog and my family
[Verse 2]
The Vulcan lives in Birmingham
Sometimes he just don't give a damn
His head is full of bumblebees
His pride hangs down below his knees
Venus left him long ago
For a guy named Mars from Idaho
The Vulcan sent a wedding gift

Three-legged stool and a wheelchair lift
[Chorus]
The lonesome friends of science say
"The world will end most any day"
Well, if it doesn't, that's okay
'Cause I don't live here anyway
I live down deep inside my head
Well, long ago I made my bed
I get my mail in Tennessee
My wife, my dog and my family
[Verse 3]
Those bastards in their white lab coats
Who experiment with mountain goats
Should leave the Universe alone
It's not their business, not their home
I go to sleep and it never rains
My dog predicts a hurricane
She just smell a storm a mile away
That's all the news we have today
[Chorus]
The lonesome friends of science say
"The world will end most any day"
Well, if it doesn't, that's okay
'Cause I don't live here anyway
I live down deep inside my head
Well, long ago I made my bed
I get my mail in Tennessee
My wife, my dog and my family
