Built to Spill Randy Described Eternity

Every Thousand Years
This metal sphere
Ten times the size of Jupiter
Flies just a few yards past the Earth

You climb on your roof
and take a swipe at it
with a single feather
and you do it once every thousand years

Til you've worn it down
to the size of a pea
Yeah, I'd say that's a long time
but it's only half a blink
in the place we're going to be

Where you going to be?
Where will you spend eternity?
I'm going to be perfect from now on
I'm going to be perfect starting now.

I will say I forgot it
but it was only yesterday
and that's all you have to say.
