As I Walk Through The Valley - Ellies | English

Well a bomb went off in Mexico today And a priest in San Diego lost his faith And they're searching for some real estate in space Oh, dying alone is such a fucking waste All the animals that I drew as a kid Live in articles on how they wound up dead There's still so many places I've not been But I'm sure they can't be much better than this 'Cause when it's all going to shit And these days it usually is Oh no, it's a consequential world we live in Oh no, we're just lost and lonely experts But for you and I And our peace of mind In the case of a tragedy I still wouldn't press rewind Making fun of all our married friends While you moved out of your condo 'Cause you can't afford the rent If our life is slow to start Like your father's 80's Benz Then I guess it doesn't matter how it ends 'Cause when it's all going to shit And these days it usually is Oh no, it's a consequential world we live in Oh no, we're just lost and lonely experts But for you and I And our peace of mind In the case of a tragedy I still wouldn't press rewind What if we starve and the power goes down? Running out of things we could talk about What do we do then, what do we do now? What do we do then, what do we do now? So many birthdays in a Japanese house Wouldn't it be a shame if your parents moved out? What do we do then, what do we do now? What do we do then, what do we do now? Lately old age seems around the bend When Mom is on depressants And now Dad can't feel his hands And I'm waking up to nightmares where I'm losing all my friends But in the case of a tragedy I still wouldn't press rewind

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it at all And my mind and my gun they comfort me Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come Surely, goodness and mercy Will follow me all the days of my life And I will dwell on this earth forevermore Said I walk beside the still waters And they restore my soul But I can't walk on the path of the right Because I'm wrong Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill Called himself the saviour of the human race Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain But I said, how can you save the world from itself? 'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death And I fear no evil because I'm blind Oh, and I walk beside the still waters And they restore my soul But I know when I die my soul is damned But I know when I die my soul is damned
