[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
If the game is lost
Then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shiny ball of blue we can call our home

[Chorus]
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
The politicians throwin' stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Shipping powders back and forth
Yes, and black goes south and white comes north
In a whole world full of petty wars
Yes, and I got mine and you got yours
And the current fashion sets the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
The radical, he rant and rage
Singing someone's got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his cover's blown

[Chorus]
The politicians throwin' stones
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
'Cause it's all too clear we're on our own
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down

[Outro]
Picture a bright blue ball
Just spinnin', spinnin' free
Dizzy with eternity
