When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed it,
When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed...
The bricks and mortar have all given way,
At first, they resisted, but then they began to sway.

How can you say, Forever is at [bad word] 
How can you say, The future is in the palm, in the palm of your hand?

When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed it,
When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed...
That gaping hole was once a foundation,
Where you stand now were tools in a basement, And...

How can you say, Forever is at [bad word] 
How can you say, The future's in the palm, in the palm of your hand?
