Aw, the Humanity - Rev. Horton Heat

Like a man in love must do

I was moving in on you

And I didn’t care how long I’d have to wait

I knew it was a bet

But I now know better yet

That the race was over right out of the gate

Like a big dirigible ship

At first a little blip

Getting bigger, ever bigger in your sky

But as I got overhead

You dropped me like a ton of lead

And I blew up in front of everybodys eyes

Aw the humanity!

Aw the humanity!

Though it really wasn’t clear

What that guy meant when he said

Aw the humanity!

Aw the humanity!

I was moving in on glory

When all the sudden I was dead

Like history being made

It was watched by a brigade

Like old news reels they show in matinees

With the news reels in their eyes

Even they were most surprised

It unfolded in an unexpected way

The Hindenburg of love

Had me riding high above

My head was floating lighter than the air

But it ended in bad news

Like someone lit a fuse

And the explosion of my heart caused quite a blare

Jones and Bonham, Plant and Page

Put Led Zeppelin on a stage

And the MetLife blimp put Snoopy in the sky

Honey tell me, whats the deal?

Why I’m now burning in a field?

Was sabotage what made our romance die?

You led me to the site

That dark and fateful night

My landing lines were out and hanging down

But soon you lit a spark

Just a small electric arc

And history just came crashing to the ground

Aw the humanity!

Aw the humanity!

The announcers words were odd

But I’m the one who tried to holler

Aw the humanity!

Aw the humanity!

Our romance ended badly

In an unexpected way
