Once upon a time - this is almost true

When the sun came out for a day or two

It would beat the war to the top of the news

- This'll make no sense in 2102

When the antiques show where the river once flowed

And your gran remembers having no suntan at all - and waterfalls

Where did the waterfalls go?

Welcome to the meltdown

Amazing how close to total collapse

It gets when you have to turn off the taps

And the plastic surgery starts to crack

And no you can't have your money back

Not sure where it went but its all been spent

On carbon-based industrial waste recall - but it's all too late

Where did the oxygen go?

Welcome to the meltdown

Want ice with that? well i'll draw you a map

To the tourist resort on the polar cap

Where the drinks-included menu states

Make the most of it before it's too late

One drop at a time on a slow decline

We had it all figured out

One drop at a time on a slow decline

And then the water ran out
