regina spektor - cradle lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the day the world ended
was a bad day anyway
god was playing games upstairs
he was playing chess

[pre+chorus]
“checkmate, my friend,” he said
“oh, checkmate, my hiroshima
checkmate, my sweet mud”
[chorus]
i can see the cradle
only lonely me
i can see the cradle
only lonely me
oh my, oh me, oh my

[verse 2]
the day the world ended
was a bad day anyway
god won the tournament
he beat us fair and square

[pre+chorus]
“checkmate, my friend,” he said
“oh, checkmate, my hiroshima
checkmate, my sweet mud”

[chorus]
i can see the cradle
only lonely me
i can see the cradle
only lonely me
oh my, oh me, oh my

[bridge]
fire, fire everywhere
no one left to say a prayer
fire, fire everywhere
so they bent their heads in prayer
as the game board went up in
purty little flames, uh+huh
purty little flames, uh+huh
[verse 3]
the day the world ended
was a bad day anyway
owners and distributors
had smoked their last cigar

[pre+chorus]
“checkmate, my friend,” he said
“oh, checkmate, my hiroshima
checkmate, my sweet mud”

[chorus]
i can see the cradle
only lonely me
i can see the cradle
only lonely me, oh my

[verse 4]
the day the world ended
was a bad day, a bad day anyway
the lovers and philosophers
had known it all along

[pre+chorus]
“checkmate, my friend,” he said
“oh, checkmate, my hiroshima
checkmate, my sweet mud”
[chorus]
i can see the cradle
only lonely me
i can see the cradle
only lonely me, oh my

[outro]
fire, fire everywhere
no one left to spare
that wouldn’t be fair, now
would it, oh and
fire, fire everywhere
no one left to say a prayer
fire, fire everywhere
so they bent their heads in prayer
as the game board went up in
purty little flames, uh+huh
purty little flames, uh+huh
i can see, oh me oh my
i can see
i can see
i can see
i can see…
