Like An Anvil Lyrics by The Burning Hell

Flux Capacitor

2011

[Verse 1]
When you disappear in a photograph of yourself
Stucked to your guitar at your parents' prom
You know you've got to play that perfect chord
But your fingers slipped and all the notes are wrong
When your hands are half invisible, your band is freaking out
Your future mom and dad don't know, that's who they are
But then future dad finds courage, kisses future mom
Is that God or just your skills on the guitar?
[Refrain]
Either way, the results are equal
So just accept it, just be glad
It doesn't matter until the sequel
When the good old days go bad
[Verse 2]
Everybody needs a genius scientist to tell them what to do
Or at least a teleprompter to remind them of their lines
When sometimes you get so wrapped in the narrative arc
You forget the details of the plot from time to time
When sometimes the other actors just can't memorize their cues
You don't always have the budget for a second take
But as long as you can concoct some semi-plausible happy end
Doesn't matter if the happy ending's fake
[Refrain 2]
Like an anvil, a harmless anvil
A harmless anvil that falls in a cartoon
Like the footprint of an astronaut
In a photo of the surface of the moon
[Bridge]
So roll the credits, cue the music, turn on the lights
Count the receipts and close the cash up for the night
Find a teenage boy to sweep up all the popcorn from the aisles
I've had enough entertainment for a while
[Outro]
It's time to go now but don't be scared
Take the wheel while I punch in the code
It doesn't matter, we don't need cars
Where we're going, we don't need roads
