Woke up in the evening To the sound of the screaming Through the walls that were bleeding All over me
Untied & weightless Unconscious as we cross
The international dateline
Let's end it here
Grow tired of the shokos(?) And the ones that we toast There are no zeroes Around here
Untied & weightless
Unconscious as we cross
The international dateline
Let's end it here Let's end it here Let's end it here Let's leave her here Let's end it here
Woke up in the evening To the sound of the screaming Through the walls that were bleeding
All over me
Untied & weightless
Unconscious as we cross
The international dateline
Let's end it here

International Date Line #1
The International Date Line is an imaginary line drawn close to the 180th meridian to indicate the point where the date changes by one day on a transpacific voyage. East of the line it is one day earlier than it is to the west. This happens because time everywhere in the world is measured from Greenwich Mean Time, which lies at 0 degrees longitude, which is also known as the prime meridian. Every 15 degrees of longitude is equivalent to one hour. Moving westwards 180 degrees from Greenwich, travellers lose 12 hours; moving eastwards they gain 12 hours. As a result at longitude 180 degrees west (which is the same as 180 degrees east) there is a difference of 24 hours, or one day. In order to avoid crossing land at any point, the International Date Line curves eastwards of the 180th meridian around Siberia, westwards around the Aleutian Islands, and eastwards around Fiji Islands and New Zealand.© & (p) 1995-2000

e porque não viajar até Beirut?!
If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight
Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around
