Divine Intervention

Yeah

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

Yeah

Divine intervention

Is out of the question

And I'm gonna dance in the flames

Yeah

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 a 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 Silverlake

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

Yeah

'Cause divine intervention

Is out of the question

And life is a gambling game

It's a gambling game

Yeah

Divine intervention

Is out of the question

And I'm gonna dance in the flames

Yeah

Divine intervention

Won't give you protection

And life is a gambling game

Yeah

Oh, yeah

Come on

Yeah

Mmm

When the walls cave in

And the lights go dim

And I drag you out again

Well, dystopian values

Are too hot to handle

I'm going out in a blaze

Can we run any faster?

It's a total disaster

I, I, I'm going down in the flames

Yeah

When they try to arrest you

I come to your rescue

Life is a gambling game
