The Bees

Have you heard about the bees
I ask the stranger on the bus
He took another empty seat
Unexpected and alone
They’re disappearing now in mass
No one knows what’s happening
Or even who to ask

I thought you’d like this
Kind of crisis
’cause…

When the zombies come, you’d be all i need
Mad as max and half as mean
I promise not to run, you’ll find me where i am
But baby i forgot the plan.

In all the books you’ve read to me
And all the songs we’ve sung
Have you ever seen a bee as fierce as unrequited love
It will hang you by your toe nails
And it will kick you once your down
Swear to kill your parents if you make a single sound

It’s bound to happen
Any second
’cause…

When the zombies come, you’d be all i need
Mad as max and half as mean
I promise not to run, you’ll find me where i am
But baby i forgot the plan.

I’ll go alone
Alone

Like my beloved brontosaurous
They pulled poodle from the sky
But none of them seemed serious
Compared to you and i
The bees begin a chapter now in human history
Undoubtedly they go down as apocaplyptic, pre

Oh how can no one
See this omen
’cause…

When the zombies come, you’d be all i need
Mad as max and half as mean
I promise not to run, you’ll find me where i am
But baby i forgot the plan.

Have you heard about the bees
A stranger asked me on the bus
I took another empty seat
