UTOPIAN MONUMENT

I GOT THE MESSAGE IN MY MAILBOX
NOBODY GOES TO CHURCH NO MORE
THEY'RE CLOSING DOWN YOUR LITTLE ALTAR
THEY'VE LOCKED THE SANCTUARY DOOR

DON'T FIGHT IT!
WHO CAN SAY THAT YOU DIDN'T TRY?
DON'T FIGHT IT!
OLD SOLDIERS NEVER DIE

WHERE WILL I GO TO LEAVE MY OFFERINGS?
TO THINK ABOUT HOW LIFE'S SO QUEER?
AND LISTEN TO THE LITTLE CHOIR?
-THE SERMON I DON'T CARE TO HEAR

DON'T FIGHT IT!
WHO CAN SAY THAT IT'S NOT THE END?
DON'T FIGHT IT!
AND IF WE DON'T MEET AGAIN

I KNOW
SOMEWHERE A MONUMENT
STANDS IN THE NAME OF OUR LOVE
SOMEWHERE ARE MONUMENTS
STANDING IN THE NAME OF LOVE

I'VE SEEN SUCH STRANGE TIMES
SEEMS LIKE LIFETIMES
SOMETIMES GOOD
AND SOMETIMES BAD
AND I DON'T SEE HOW IT
COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT
EVERYBODY GAVE THE BEST THEY HAD

DON'T FIGHT IT!
WHO CAN SAY THAT IT'S NOT THE END?
DON'T FIGHT IT!
AND IF WE DON'T MEET AGAIN

I KNOW
SOMEWHERE
A MONUMENT
STANDS IN THE NAME OF OUR LOVE

SOMEWHERE ARE MONUMENTS
STANDING IN THE NAME OF LOVE

Mars. Possibly on MARS.....
Maybe on PHOBOS.....

Replace "Church" with STUDIO, and you have the story of the break-up of UTOPIA....
