Speak to me in tongues or through fire alarms
Don't lay your shadow on
Don't lay your shadow on the innocent
"World ends in 2012" - headlines straight from hell
But don't lose your belief
Don't lose your belief, not now
Remember at the start; dreams of America
So don't lay your shadow on
Don't lay your shadow on the innocent
I'll meet you in 2012 on the stairs where we first met
And I'll bring you a cassette we can listen to when all ends - softly
Don't lay your shadow on
Don't lay your shadow on the innocent
"World ends in 2012" - headlines straight from hell
But don't lose your belief
Don't lose your belief, not now
Remember at the start; dreams of America
So don't lay your shadow on
Don't lay your shadow on the innocent
I'll meet you in 2012 on the stairs where we first met
And I'll bring you a cassette we can listen to when all ends - softly
