real nice - kind of Nick Cave-esque - really love the vocal

There was something important
something of value
that I had to say
but it slipped away
something that could save us all

But the sun 
it won’t last forever
won’t shine forever

The sun they say 
it will shine 
for approximately 
5.000.000.000 years

And 5.000.000.000 years
it’s a long time

And I wanted to share
wanted to share it 
with everyone
but now it’s gone
I go: well, well, oh well

Because the sun 
it won’t last forever
won’t shine forever

The sun they say 
it will shine 
for approximately 
5.000.000.000 years

And 5.000.000.000 years
it’s a long time
in 5.000.000.000 years
it’ll be dark
