Divine Intervention

Walking down the street in New York City A sandwich board read, "The end of the world is nigh" I looked up and saw the billionaires all scuttling Scrambling to their bolt holes in the sky Watch 'em fly But meanwhile we just keep on running We're going to the football every Saturday night Divine intervention Is out of the question And I'm gonna dance in the flames Divine intervention Is out of the question And life is a gambling game It's a gambling game Driving down an alley in a rundown part of Hollywood Saw the neon light at the psychic's sign Through the gloom, I asked her, "What's my future?" Well, she threw up and then broke down and cried Tears in her eyes I kept moving on to Silver Lake To play guitar with a brand new friend of mine Divine intervention Is out of the question And I'm gonna dance in the flames 'Cause divine intervention Is out of the question And life is a gambling game It's a gambling game Divine intervention Is out of the question And I'm gonna dance in the flames Divine intervention Won't give you protection Life is a gambling game When the walls cave in And the lights go dim And I drag you out again Well, dystopian values are too hot to handle And I'm going out in a blaze Can we run any faster To total disaster I'm going down in the flames When they try to arrest you I come to your rescue Life is a gambling game
