Lonesome Friends Of Science Lyrics - John Prine

The lonesome friends of science say 

The world will end most any day 

Well, if it does, then that's okay 

'Cause I don't live here anyway 

I live down deep inside my head 

Well, long ago I made my bed 

I get my mail in Tennessee 

My wife, my dog and my family 

Poor old planet Pluto now 

He never stood a chance no how 

When he got uninvited to 

The interplanetary dance 

Once a mighty planet there 

Now just an ordinary star 

Hanging out in Hollywood 

In some old funky sushi bar

The lonesome friends of science say 

The world will end most any day 

Well, if it does, then that's okay 

'Cause I don't live here anyway 

I live down deep inside my head 

Well, long ago I made my bed 

I get my mail in Tennessee 

My wife, my dog, my kids and me 

The Vulcan lives in Birmingham 

Sometimes he just don't give a damn 

His head is full of bumblebees 

His pride hangs down below his knees 

Venus left him long ago 

For a guy named Mars from Idaho 

The Vulcan sent a wedding gift 

Three-legged stool and a wheelchair lift

The lonesome friends of science say 

This world will end most any day 

Well, if it does, then that's okay 

'Cause I don't live here anyway 

I live down deep inside my head 

Well, long ago I made my bed 

I get my mail in Tennessee 

My wife, my dog, my kids and me 

Those bastards in their white lab coats 

Who experiment with mountain goats 

Should leave the universe alone 

It's not their business, not their home 

I go to sleep and it never rains 

My dog predicts hurricanes 

She can smell a storm a mile away 

That's all the news we have today 

The lonesome friends of science say 

The world will end most any day 

Well, if it does, then that's okay 

'Cause I don't live here anyway 

I live down deep inside my head 

Well, long ago I made my bed 

I get my mail in Tennessee 

My wife, my dog, my kids and me
