[Lyric] The Year of the Coment (The American Tragedy [US])

[Verse 1]
She's staring at the comet painted on the wall
She says "Don't be afraid if you think it's gonna fall"
When nobody's looking we can pretend to be
Kings of this castle we're not living in
And if we despise the things we can't change
Then I'll be around to make the exchange
So bring out the guard dogs, get a bow tie
And we'll have to be in disguise

[Pre-Chorus]
In this, the year of the comet
In this, the age of the bomb threat

[Chorus]
Be afraid
Be afraid
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
[Verse 2]
Venus is the angel, she stumbles in my room
At five in the morning, complains about the moon
She says "When nobody's looking they can pretend to be
Kings of this loneliness they're living in"
And if they despise the things they can't change
They should retire from being estranged
So bring out the faces, we've all got a few
We'll have to be on the move

[Pre-Chorus]
In this, the year of the comet
In this, the age of the bomb threat

[Chorus]
Be afraid
Be afraid
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
We want you to burn
[Bridge]
And I read it on a billboard sign
You were born original
So try not to die
As someone else's clone

[Verse 3]
Picture us driving along the countryside
Like we're in a movie that's filmed overseas
Most speaking German except the director
Who's smoking cigars and enjoying his tea
We'd all be laughing, our hair in our faces
Our teeth pearly white and our minds put to ease
Out of the atmosphere comes such a sound to hear
Here comes the comet so get on your knees
