[00:17.542]The existential threat that I always feel
[00:20.128]Nothing's happened yet today and yet I have to feel
[00:22.740]Danger near, danger here
[00:25.274]Nowhere to escape to and nobody there to hear as I now
[00:27.938]Scream in fear, scream in fear
[00:30.342]The existential threat is drawing very, very near and they all
[00:32.954]Look away, look away
[00:35.488]Can't they see the existential threat is on its way?
[00:38.022]The existential threat that I tend to feel
[00:40.556]When I'm walking down the street or right behind the wheel
[00:43.142]Turning left, turning right
[00:45.754]Trying to escape the cloud that's close enough to feel and you may
[00:48.340]Laugh out loud, laugh out loud
[00:50.769]The existential threat is always hanging about and you may
[00:53.460]Say go way, say go way
[00:55.889]The existential threat is never going away
[00:58.606]Doctor gave me these, I said what are these?
[01:01.088]He said that they'll cure an existential type disease
[01:03.622]Doubt they will, doubt they will
[01:06.103]But I'm keen to try whatever, gimme that pill and he said
[01:08.768]Here's the bill, here's the bill
[01:11.302]In the end they didn't work, I paid the whole bill because
[01:13.888]Insurance won't, they just won't
[01:16.369]Cover existential meds, I wish I had known
[01:19.112]
[01:34.316]How should I react under this attack
[01:36.797]Even when I'm standing up I feel I'm on my back
[01:39.383]Quagmire here, quagmire there
[01:41.734]I cannot elucidate the danger that is always there but it is
[01:44.608]Looming large, extra large
[01:46.985]My semi-automatic weapon ready to discharge but it's a
[01:49.571]Futile act, better pack
[01:52.053]The existential threat is bulletproof and looming large
[01:54.717]Sartre and Camus seemed to understand
[01:57.225]Something close to what I'm feeling though they were in France
[01:59.785]Deux Magots they would go
[02:02.293]Each comparing existential threats they came to blows and then
[02:04.853]The crowds came near just to cheer
[02:07.387]For the greatest existential threatened philosophe and it is
[02:09.973]Comforting, comforting
[02:12.507]Then the comfort starts to very quickly fade away
[02:15.197]
[02:25.385]Did I wake you up, sorry if I did
[02:27.840]Guess I woke you up and also woke your little kid
[02:30.139]Threat outside, let me hide
[02:32.908]Just until the danger passes, then I'll go outside and have to
[02:35.468]Come again, once again
[02:37.976]The existential threat is at your patio door and do not
[02:40.536]Let it in, let it in
[02:43.122]When you fight the existential threat you will not win
[02:45.656]The existential threat that I always feel
[02:48.347]Lots of things have happened and I seek an even keel
[02:50.802]Danger near, danger far
[02:53.414]Nowhere to escape to and I'm racing in my car as I now
[02:56.053]Scream in fear, scream in fear
[02:58.482]The existential threat is drawing very, very near as I now
[03:01.199]Drive away, by the way
[03:03.602]Can't you see the existential threat is on its way?
