Lyrics

I thought you were the one
who said cold wars are a bust
she doesn’t want a romeo just someone she can trust
with an ear to the ground

Love in the age of the extremes
there’s nothing better that I’d rather do
then to scatter all the myths
and walk to the start or the end of the world with you

Turn up the microphone
on the national parks
you gotta switch something off if you wanna get it right
a crater full of wisdom in James Turrell’s eyes

Light in the age of the extremes
there’s nothing finer that I’d rather see
then to scatter all the myths
find another way around getting stuck at the end of the world with you
end of the world with you

If you travel out to space
at the speed of light
would you send me a letter from a star going by
can’t see too well out here in the dark

Time in the age of the extremes
there’s nothing better that I’d rather feel
then to scatter all the myths
bring back a little peace of mind for you
you gotta vantage point
so we’ll sit and watch the view
at the edge of the end of the world
