A Grand Scene For A Color Film Lyrics
SIT DOWN!
Return to sender, I've fallen off the hint of suggestion.
Unlearning the strange devices of the world.
It's the end of the earth or something like it, like it.
The great universal coma has arrived.
We are holding our hands towards the sun.
Sit down, come on sit down. Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town.
Return to sender, carried straight from the womb to the grave.
Your eyes have been paled to emptiness.
All things have been carved out by the unceasing haunts
of this, the Great Manipulator!
The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun
has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town!
You've given us user friendly grenades! Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun
has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun
has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town!
Return to sender, I've fallen off the hint of suggestion.
Unlearning the strange devices of the world.
It's the end of the earth or something like it, like it.
The great universal coma has arrived.
Sit down, come on sit down. Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town.
Return to sender, carried straight from the womb to the grave.
Your eyes have been paled to emptiness.
All things have been carved out by the unceasing haunts
of this, the Great Manipulator!
has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town!
You've given us user friendly grenades! Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.

SIT DOWN! Return to sender, I've fallen off the hint of suggestion. Unlearning the strange devices of the world. It's the end of the earth or something like it, like it. The great universal coma has arrived.
We are holding our hands towards the sun. Sit down, come on sit down. Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town. Return to sender, carried straight from the womb to the grave. Your eyes have been paled to emptiness. All things have been carved out by the unceasing haunts of this, the Great Manipulator!
The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun has become empty and automatic. Sit down, sit down, come on sit down. Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town. Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town! You've given us user friendly grenades! Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun has become empty and automatic. Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun has become empty and automatic. Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town!
I think this song is about letting go of what material possessions we hold on to in this world and looking to what comes after death. It's definitely supposed to have an apocalyptic meaning behind it. The great universal coma is the complete extinction of man. Everything being carved out by the Great Manipulator is a reference to how (from a christian perspective, not trying to offend any people who don't believe in christ) Satan has a foothold in mankind. Holding your hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun and it becoming empty and automatic is about those who call themselves Christians but just go through the motions and don't really believe. Just throwing it out there but the line "lets break out the shotguns we're going to town" could possibly be about getting rid of the stuff that is bringing us down and away from our relationship with God. User friendly grenades of course are non-existent, most likely a line directed at "the great manipulator" meaning that he is using friendliness and kindness to mask an evil intention. Basically the whole song is about how christianity has fallen from it's roots and become more of a religion than the relationship it started as and was for quite some time.
Let's Break Out The shotugnnnnns, we're going to town! so god damn slick. another rad one.
abortioooooon. though i disagree
these lyrics are mega-incomplete
mikeyc Ur MEGA-WRONG. if i did leave out something what is it ?
the first verse sounds nothing like what you have, you're missing the chorus too, all you have is sit down and break out the shotguns we're going to town, there is way more than that in the chorus.
I dono because when i listen to it its all right there. the first part is the first part in the song but it jumps lines be creative its there.this is how its written out in the lyric book if Norma Jean wanted us to read between the lines then it should be read like that
does anyone else hear that incubus song "meglomaniac" in this?
oh my God! i love Norma Jean,total inspiration to my music,but...i can´t believe,i hear Incubus from the first time i listen that track!!!,good apreciation xoshinobiox!.i´m fertil,from Uruguay,little country here in South America
