An unseasonably warm day in the fall marked the start of the finish
And all of God's creatures were a'scurrying in unnatural circles
And those so inclined heaved a sigh and began to say
Lo and behold, you know all this could've been foretold!
We should've known!
We should've known!
An unseasonably warm week in the spring marked the end of the finish
And all of God's children were a'scurrying in unnatural circles
Some threw up their hands and ran and began to say
I'll say if I may, you deserve it if it ends this way
And you should've know
You should've known
And they're taking their kin and their kind
Far away from their dire predictions
Hoping once they've renounced
They're acquitted of crimes and unpleasant afflictions
And they should've known. They should've known
An unseasonable warm year in a few years from now was...beginning!
And all of God's children were alive and afraid and a'scurrying
Those who had fled came on down from their hills and caves
There were more still alive than they had ever hoped or prayed
And we should've known.
We should've known
And they're taking their kin and their kind
Far away from their dire predictions
Hoping once they've renounced
They're acquitted of crimes and unpleasant afflictions
And I....
I think I'll insert, if I may, that your 'duty' is your dereliction
Hoping once they've renounced
They're acquitted of crimes and unpleasant afflictions
And you should've known. You...
should have known.
