David Bowie sang about the apocolypse in "FIVE YEARS" , the opening song on Ziggie Stardust in 1974.
And Now Three Years to the day on Decemebr 21 2009 , Wooden Thomas borrows Bowies Melody and Chords to create "Three Years" .
Will 2012 be the end of us all? Who Knows? Let's just have fun while we can!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pushing a shopping cart, (pushing thru the market square)
through the expess line, (So many mothers sighing)
weekly world news has told us , (News had just come over)
we have three years ,til the end of time (we had five years left of crying)
At first I thought it was funny and now Im crying in my pants (News guy wept and told us ,Earth was really dying)
I read more about it while I ate Potato chips, had to fire up the internet, (Cryed so much his face was wet then I knew he was not lying)
I saw videos and articles on wikipedia and you tube ( I heard telephones , opera house , favorite melodies,)
I see the Mayan Calendar is ending real soon (I saw boys, toys , electric irons and TVs)
I could view no more , not that I didnt care (My brain hurt like a ware house it had no room to spare)
Nostradamous was a guy who saw many things that were not yet there ( I had to cram so many things to store everything in there) AM
like pope Sixtus the fifth ! (and all the fat skinny people )
C AM
the first world war and the next ! ( and all the tall short people )
C G
napoleon and hitler (
AM DM7and all the somebody people )
but he spelled the name hister (and all the nobody people) AM
I never thought anyone could spell worser than me (I never thought Id need so many people)
the wheels spinned off my shopping cart (A girl my age went off her head)
hit an hour glass of sand that tumbled off (Hit some tiny children)
causing coins to fall in groups of three (If the black cat had not pulled her off)
and books to open unpredictably (I think she would have killed them)
the cold winter solstice sun (Soldier with a broken arm)
will intersect with the galactic equator (Fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac)
forming a cross kissed by A Mayan Shaman (a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a preist)
a black hole swallowed an alligator (and a queer threw up at the sight of that)
Think I saw you eating a milky way bar (I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor )
looking at a globe and singing this song (drinking milkshakes cold and long)
dancing and prancing and chewing like a cow (Smiling and waving and looking so fine)
we know more about what than we do about how
0-12 December a mess with Armageddon and fret (and it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor)
and I hadnt even finished my Christmas shopping yet (and I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there)
a guitar for little Tommy and a web kin for Liz (your face your race the way that you talk)
I always liked to get presents when I was a kid ! (I kiss you , youre beautiful I want you to walk)(
Dont think you knew you were in this song)
Three years thats all were dealt
Three Years ! 2012
Three Years thats all weve got
Three Years thats not a lot
three years , my brain can not stall
three years end of us all
three years the Mayan calander says in three years well all be dead!
three years my brains out of sync .
in three years well be extinct!
three years according to the I ching
three years , what will they bring?
Three years ,left on the shelf
three years, 2012
three beers , thats half a six pack
three years were still in IRAQ!
i like what you did with this.
