Sparks - The Existential Threat lyrics
[Sparks - The Existential Threat lyrics]
The existential threat that I always feel
Nothing’s happened yet today and
Yet I have to feel danger near, danger here
Nowhere to escape to and nobody there to hear
As I now scream in fear, scream in fear
The existential threat is drawing very
Very near and they all look away, look away
Can’t they see the existential threat
Is on it's way?
The existential threat that I tend to feel
When I’m walking down the street
Or right behind the wheel
Turning left, turning right
Trying to escape the cloud that’s
Close enough to feel
And you may laugh out loud, laugh out loud
The existential threat is
Always hanging about
And you may say go 'way, say go 'way
The existential threat is never going away
Doctor gave me these, I said what are these?
He said that they’ll cure
An existential type disease
Doubt they will, doubt they will
But, I’m keen to try whatever
Gimme that pill
And he said here’s the bill, here’s the bill
In the end they didn’t work
I paid the whole bill
Because insurance won’t, they just won’t
Cover existential meds, I wish I had known
How should I react under this attack?
Even when I’m standing up I
Feel I’m on my back
Quagmire here, quagmire there
I cannot elucidate the danger
That is always there
But it is looming large, extra large
My semi-automatic weapon ready to discharge
But it’s a futile act, better pack
The existential threat is bulletproof
And looming large
Sartre and Camus seemed to understand
Something close to what I’m feeling
Though they were in France
Deux Magots they would go
Each comparing existential threats they
Came to blows
And then the crowds came near just to cheer
For the greatest existential
Threatened philosophe
And it is comforting, comforting
Then the comfort starts to
Very quickly fade away
Did I wake you up? Sorry if I did
Guess I woke you up and
Also woke your little kid
Threat outside, let me hide
Just until the danger passes
Then I’ll go outside
And have to come again, once again
The existential threat is at your patio door
And do not let it in, let it in
When you fight the existential threat
You will not win
The existential threat that I always feel
Lots of things have happened and
I seek an even keel danger near, danger far
Nowhere to escape to and I’m racing in my car
As I now scream in fear, scream in fear
The existential threat is drawing very
Very near as I now drive away, by the way
Can’t you see the existential threat
Is on it's way?
Nothing’s happened yet today and
Yet I have to feel danger near, danger here
Nowhere to escape to and nobody there to hear
As I now scream in fear, scream in fear
The existential threat is drawing very
Very near and they all look away, look away
Can’t they see the existential threat
Is on it's way?
The existential threat that I tend to feel
When I’m walking down the street
Or right behind the wheel
Turning left, turning right
Trying to escape the cloud that’s
Close enough to feel
And you may laugh out loud, laugh out loud
The existential threat is
Always hanging about
And you may say go 'way, say go 'way
The existential threat is never going away
Doctor gave me these, I said what are these?
He said that they’ll cure
An existential type disease
Doubt they will, doubt they will
But, I’m keen to try whatever
Gimme that pill
And he said here’s the bill, here’s the bill
In the end they didn’t work

Because insurance won’t, they just won’t
Cover existential meds, I wish I had known
How should I react under this attack?
Even when I’m standing up I
