As Flat As The Earth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I knew you'd return to the other side
Well the day began, I woke again and died
If you don't come around
I'll know what it's worth
How deep is the ground?
As flat as the earth
How deep is the ground?
As flat as the earth
Well I can't refrain from talking to myself
And all these conversations, nothing seems to help
I can't figure out
What those words are worth
How deep is the ground?
As flat as the earth
How deep is the ground?
As flat as the earth
Got to make my break for a brave new world again
Here on earth we're merely clinging to the trends
You said it was round
But you didn't know what it was worth
How deep is the ground?
As flat as the earth
How deep is the ground?
As flat as the earth
