This song is also a band co-write. It begins with disecting what is actually happening in the sky during a beautiful sunset, and then breaks into our frustrations and fears regarding global warming.

Lyrics

Heaven’s Joke (2/15/24)

The sunset cast brilliant hues
We gather as pinks and yellows fuse
Looking toward a little magic time with friends

But it’s really particulates, ozone
And those dioxide twins
Sulfur and nitrogen
Here they come round again
Those brilliant reds like a devil’s cloak
Heaven’s joke
Magician smoke
Those yellow bands of poison dip below the horizon

Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
Again and Again

And it all spins out
It all spins out
We’re just sitting here watching the water on the bay

An Indian summer means a Red October
More and more of a good thing
Those days outside watching sunsets in the yard
It’s really just those Southern winds deciding to head North
And that stubborn carbon dioxide throwing everything off course
The hemisphere is reversing
The Gods are just rehearsing
For the smiting and the cursing
That they really have in store

And it all spins out
It all spins out
We just sit here watching the water on the bay
Chaos is afoot
I tell you it’s afoot
Or it may just be a hand that washed up yesterday

We’re all spinning out
All spinning out
All Spinning out

Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again
