He makes up the melody
She writes up the songs
Wailing for the universe
She thinks about the wide world
He complains days are long
Wailing for the universe
She drinks the holy water
As he breaks up the bread
Wailing for the universe
He works out his heart
While she plays with her head
Wailing for the universe
She looks for friends on the bottom of the ocean
He seeks them in an eyeball glass
Wailing for the universe
He can’t anticipate the future
She can’t forget about the past
Wailing for the universe
He waits for the white-out
While she blacks out a lot
Wailing for the universe
She prays for death of time
He thinks ‘she loves me not’
Wailing for the universe
She worries in the next life
That she will be feared
Wailing for the universe
He’s never been estranged from love,
But it’s strange to wipe her tears
Wailing for the universe
Surely, that ruler of airwaves
Has once upon a time
Wailed for the universe
He can pick up the tab
But he can’t commit the crime
Wailing for the universe
So if God decides to test you,
Better hold that faith steady
Wailing for the universe
Till the day that truth will come
And save you if you’re ready
Wailing for the universe
