You walked out over a fresh grave to cheers and applause
And so all over creation the culture of d**h became the celebrated rule of law
You said, "Now go get drunk, I know you lot are depressed
We've got our very best tailors getting me dressed
Yeah, there's a spotlight and a megaphone, that'll do the rest
You'll forget everything you ever saw"
I went out, yeah, and I found
The first place as desperate as me
There was a bottle to prop up my chin so I checked in
But the world never did stop its spin
So one rainy Sunday I called in
And I said, "Honey, pull me back in again"
Honey, pull me back in again
Pull me back in again
Now I had visions of violence and an age where some wise doctor would have cut out your heart
You said, "Thank you for your silence, well, there's already a hole there but thanks for doing your part"
So as we turned back to the river and the things that we loved
But I couldn't help feeling I should hold you with gloves
'Cause the pollen was poison, we'll be the dinosaurs of the future
Preserved in tar
We went out, yeah, and we found
Someplace as desperate as we were
There wwas a blanket to wrap us all in so we checked in
But the world never did stop its spinning, spinning, yeah, spinning
And no one's as desperate as me
To set these anxious bu*terflies free
There are some small things you can't defend
So now every rainy Sunday I'll call in
And I'll say, "Honey, pull me back in again"
Honey, pull me back in again
Pull me back in again
