[Verse 1]

Albert's always sincere, he's the sensitive type

His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked

But if everything is nothing, then are we anything?

Is it better to be better than to be anything?


[Pre Chorus]

And Albert's vision's blooming uncontrolled

All his wings are slowly sinking


[Chorus]

The world begins to disappear

The worst things come from inside here

All the king's men reappear

For an eggman, falling off a wall

He'll never be together again


[Verse 2]

Einstein's down on the beach, staring into the sand

As everything he believes in is shattered

What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway

We all get burned as


[Pre Chorus]

One more sun comes sliding down the sky

One more shadow leans against the wall, and


[Chorus]

The world begins to disappear

The worst things come from inside here

All the king's men reappear

For an eggman, falling off a wall

He'll never be together again


[Verse 3]

Albert's waiting in the sun

On a field American

For the cause of some inflated form of hit-and-run


[Pre Chorus]

One more sun comes sliding down the sky

One more shadow leans against the wall, and


[Chorus]

The world begins to disappear

The worst things come from inside here

All the king's men reappear

For an eggman, falling off a wall

He'll never be together again


[Bridge]

Albert's fallen on the sun

Cracked his head wide open


[Chorus]

The world begins to disappear

The worst things come from inside here

All the king's men reappear

For an eggman, falling off a wall

He'll never be together again


[Chorus]

The world begins to disappear

The worst things come from inside here

All the king's men reappear

For an eggman, falling off a wall

He'll never be together again


[Outro]

No, never be together again

No no, never never never again, uh huh

What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway
