Cradle

[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...
