When the sun goes down
it can be beautiful, for sure
but when the sun goes DOWN
it will be a thing of beauty and terror
that will leave other bodies dust
and ours scorched marks.

When the sun goes down
it will first have grown
into a great swollen red beast
bursting with violent force
waiting to waste worthier foes.

When the sun goes down
the oceans will have boiled off
sizzled into non-existence
steamed up, up and away!

When the sun goes down
life will be long gone
from the sphere.
The rock will be dead
and soon the system
will succeed on the same passage.

When the sun goes down
it’s all going down.
It’s gonna be gorgeous
but we won’t be here to see it.
We’ll either be gone from here
or just gone, you know?

Gone, daddy, ’cause momma
didn’t take care of us no more.
Anyway,
when the sun goes down
it’s gonna be a sight to see
but no one’s gonna be able to see it
’cause there won’t be any light left
’cause the sun went down.
