Headphone Actor
It was an extremely average day,
Without a single obstacle in my path
Until I was bored, listening to the radio,
And I heard this voice that said:
"It's very unfortunate I have to say this,
But the world is going to end today"
Just as I was listening to an obscure artist,
A number they did with an unknown title,
Just as it came to my ears, I heard:
"You want to survive, yes?"
Without a single obstacle in my path
Until I was bored, listening to the radio,
And I heard this voice that said:
"It's very unfortunate I have to say this,
But the world is going to end today"
Just as I was listening to an obscure artist,
A number they did with an unknown title,
Just as it came to my ears, I heard:
"You want to survive, yes?"
Waving over the wriggling world
The skyscrapers seemed to tremble
This voice seemed unmistakable:
It was my own, which I was tired of hearing
"If you cross that hill, then in twenty seconds,
You'll know what I mean, for better or worse
Don't doubt, just listen close - go twenty seconds ahead."
The chorus of shrieks and screams
Turned to tearful eyes in ten seconds
I had my doubts, but no matter who did what,
There was no ending humanity's song
"Run, run, there's one minute left!"
The skyscrapers seemed to tremble
This voice seemed unmistakable:
It was my own, which I was tired of hearing

You'll know what I mean, for better or worse

The chorus of shrieks and screams
Turned to tearful eyes in ten seconds
I had my doubts, but no matter who did what,
There was no ending humanity's song
"Run, run, there's one minute left!"
But I couldn't even hear it by then;
The hill which I thought to cross
Was right before me.
My breath faint, I finally arrived
Before a wall which projected the sky.
Behind it, scientists in white applauded;
"Magnificent!" they said.
From there, I saw the town
Was some kind of experimental facility;
"No longer necessary,"
A scientist said, and calmly tossed a bomb
I was told I had been living
My whole life in a little world in a box.
So I could only stare, dumbfounded
At the burnt wreckage that had been the town.
And from the headphones at my ear,
I heard a faint "I'm sorry..."
