Here At The End Of The World

from The Recent Future by Alex McMurray

/

lyrics

when its quiet you can hear the drums
but i don’t really care
they denied that it was coming
but they got it written down somewhere
when the children talk in code
and the smart ones take to the road
when the skies expand and the spaceships land
would you wait for me?

when they sell us on the hue and cry on that fateful day
when they tell us that its do or die
let’s slip away
let the others have their fight
there’s only one more night
darling come with me ‘cause soon there’ll be
nothing left to see

would you sit by me tonight?
you can still see a little bit of light
take our shoes off and dance real slow
while we wait for the fireworks show

i was whistling in the dark waiting for my world to begin
had a ticket for the ark when you came drifting in
now that the end is near
we can simply stand right here
when the oceans cry and the bullets fly
there’s just we two…

would you sit by me tonight?
you can still see a little bit of light
take our shoes off and dance real slow
while we wait for the fireworks show

the world the world who wants a world?
we’re giving it all away
hang it on a nail then a weep and a wail
get down on your knees and pray
its a crashing and a dying everybody knows why
and we’ll all expire in the water and the fire
and we’re lost in the mud and the moon fills with blood
and the trumpet’s gonna sing through the heaven it rings
and jesus come around said its all going down
he says, “it’s all on you”
tells us, “baby i’m through”
he’s gonna wash his hands
but maybe i got plans…

would you sit by me tonight?
you can still see a little bit of light
take our shoes off and dance real slow
while we wait for the fireworks show
