The Cat Empire - Nothing lyrics

rate me

Yesterday

The sky looked sweet

When we dropped

A big bomb at our feet

And sometime soon

We all might zoom

To space and continue

With another zoo

Work and pace

For paper face

Spend it wisely

And keep it safe

Because the human race

Is a non-stop race

With too many trials

But no real case

Something about this second

Something about this hour

Take away the money

Then the time becomes the power

A moment just to swim

And to shower and to sing

And to brighten and to dim

And to sleep and to wander in

Nothing

Oh sweet nothing

Today we're doing nothing at all

Yesterday

I climbed a hill

Then cycle down speedy

On a great big wheel

Feeling ill

Laboured still

Grinding and stressing

In that giant mill

Drove a car

Stop and start

Round and round in circles

Never got too far

Running barefoot

On the hot hot tar

'cause if you stop

Then you burn

Then your feet get scars

Something about this instance

Something about this minute

Striving for the future

But don't realise that we're in it

A moment just to float

To ponder and to dote

To dry and to soak

And to take a little toke of that

Nothing

Oh sweet nothing

Today we're doing nothing at all
