When it finally collapsed all you heard was the radio static   And the fluttering sound of a bird that was trapped in the attic   But you couldn’t be sure that is wasn’t just all in your head   As you carefully swept all the broken glass out of your bed    When it finally collapsed all the actors were hotly contested   But the people they had to portray were a little depressing   So a grassroots initiative based on sharing and trust   Went into production to harness the power of dust      When it finally collapsed as it had been since way before when   The pedophiles did their rendition of ‘You’ve Got a Friend’   And everyone had to admit that it wasn’t half bad   But they still felt uneasy fearing they’d be dismissed as a fad   When it finally collapsed giant billboards made people aware   Of the idea that we are composed of just water and air   And a vandal had written that Jesus knows just how you feel   When you’re falling asleep, asleep at the wheel   When you’re falling asleep, asleep at the wheel   When you’re falling asleep, asleep at the wheel      I don’t wanna stay at your party   I don’t talk with your friends   I don’t wanna vote for your President   I just wanna be your tough boat captain   It’s the place I’d like to be   It’s the place I’d like to be   It’s the place I’d like to be   It’s the place I’d like to be
