There used to be a children's TV show called The Land of the Lost It's kind of an insight into the downfall of mankind, if you will A half-hour fallout shelter broadcast from a distant shore The point is they never k**ed the bloody dinosaur The morale of the story is there is no morale If you missed it today, you can always watch it tomorrow I had a nightmare where Nietzsche was dressed up like a clown I was just about to jump off a bridge, he says to me: Matt, Just don't look down, don't look down Don't look down, it'll go away If it ain't here, it doesn't really matter where you go, where you go If it ain't here, it doesn't really matter If it ain't here, it doesn't really matter where you go, where you go if it ain't here, it doesn't really matter You ever notice how Shaggy and Scooby always ran around in a circle A friend of mine thought it was a metaphor for life, so he did Did you ever notice there was a Nixon sticker on the back of the mystery machine And it said I would've got away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids The morale of the story is there is no morale What I've been trying to say is what I've been saying all along
I had a dream there was a mermaid swimming in my bathtub She said life was like an airplane, it'll crash before long So don't look down, don't look down Don't look down, it'll go away If it ain't here, it doesn't really matter where you go, where you go If it ain't here, it doesn't really matter If it ain't here, it doesn't really matter where you go, where you go if it ain't here, it doesn't really matter Spotlights painted the building And the people gathered for the show And a bum would finger the wind To see which way he'd blow And the evening news people sat in their chairs And waited for their makeup And the police controlling the crowd on the street, well They didn't think to look up And it would suddenly seem that the world Had turned the other way As if the Sun had come out at night Changing the darkness into day Perhaps we are most peaceful When our sanity's on edge 'Cause no one bothered to wonder who the guy was Stranded on the ledge So you just don't look down, don't look down Don't look down, it'll go away Don't look down, don't look down Don't look down, just push
