Lyrics Flaming Lips

Flaming Lips

Assassination of the Sun

As you walked away

A strand of hair came undone

And was reflected in the sun

And everything was orange

And as you disappeared

The shadow of death began to run

And was reflected in the sun

And everything was orange

They have begun to celebrate

The tidal wave they think is great

The ever beating heart that it wasn't

They have begun

They have begun

They have begun

To assassinate the sun

As you died in the night

A million stars formed into one

And became another sun

And everything was orange

And now this horrible machine

Churns out pain instead of love

And looks just like the sun

And everything was orange

They have begun

They have begun

They have begun

To assassinate the sun
