The Great Battle

Scratch the black dog behind the ears
I'm all busted up inside
My old pal for all these years
He won't ever leave my side

Something will happen
Nothing will happen
And very often I won't know the difference at all

This year's gonna be the best year ever
Best year ever, just wait and see
For about 45 minutes
Then watch it sink into the sea

Good things will happen
Bad things will happen
And very often I won't know the difference at all

In the great battle
In the great battle
In the great battle
In the great battle

Feel I could fly off into space
Out where the planets got no names
Feel ether on my face
I am weightless, unashamed

Nothing will happen
Something will happen
And very often I won't know the difference at all

In the great battle
In the great battle
In the great battle
In the great battle
