Song about what happened after the end of the movie Magnolia....

lyrics

The frogs rained down from heaven
like words shook loose from a book
their bodies circled the sewers
even the blood moon seemed spooked

a plague like what's in the bible
had come to the town of no tears
and the mayor got 6000 phone calls
and the minister aged 20 years

The scientists came and they measured
and they squinted their eyes at the clouds
then they piled in their van and they left us
confused about what was allowed:

everything looks so much different
my neighbors they all seem strange
the love that once slept beside me
now wanders, her dreams deranged
so I say, Hey, what are we supposed to do now?

so I say, Hey-- if this is the end, I don't wanna know, gonna miss all my favorite shows

well the banker said we should make money
set up a tourist stand, sell plastic frogs
the crew at the bar thought it was funny
that we'd all die in the street like dogs

it had appeared the end times were upon us
then it appeared that life just went on
everyone remembered the impossible thing
but everyone remembered it wrong

one scientist came back three years later
and poked at the ground with a rod
he went to the bar and he never came out
now he lives in the back room with god

everything looks just it like it used to
my neighbors smile and look unconcerned
the love that once slept beside me
went on down the highway, never returned
so I say, Hey, what am I supposed to do now?

so I say, Hey-- if miracles are yesterdays' news, kick up your heel and break out the booze
