Christmas Is Going to the Dogs - Eels

Today I had a big idea I jumped up and I grabbed the coin I drowned out the noise There's no room for mistakes out here Everybody wants to be the man The singer of the band Sometimes I go to sleep in my bed Sometimes I stay awake, sometimes I forget Everything I love is going to die So baby, keep your big mouth shut And stop wasting my time Icarus was my best friend So I'm gonna make him proud in the end Everything I love is going to die Is going to die There's no experimenting here No threesomes like we talked about When we were blacking out What a crazy pranged out year And we spent most of it kissing teeth Locked in a quarantine Sometimes I go to Mars in my head Sometimes I don't leave town, sometimes I forget Everything I love is going to die So baby, keep your big mouth shut And stop wasting my time Icarus was my best friend So I'm gonna make him proud in the end Everything I love is going to die Is going to die Then the moment starts to pass And I start reverting back I start reverting back now, honey Swap my happiness for cheques Sell my spine to save my neck I'm starting to forget, forget, forget Everything I love is going to die So baby, keep your big mouth shut And stop wasting my time Icarus was my best friend So I'm gonna make him proud in the end Everything I love is going to die Is going to die

If we found out that the world was gonna end on Tuesday morning What would everybody do It's funny how the thought of that can make something real important And a lot of things pretty worthless too But I'd be dancin' like a fool I'd be laughin', I'd be cryin' Callin' everbody I'd ever hurt and reconcilin' I'd call everyone I loved Say what I was scared to say till then Now that I think about it Maybe I should always live like the world is gonna end I'd hit all my favorite resturants They'd be open for business Would not care what people thought, yeah And I'd speak love to everbody Who came close enough to listen And if someone done be wrong I'd call and tell em' I forgot And then I'd be dancin' like a fool I'd be laughin', I'd be cryin' Callin' everbody I'd ever hurt and reconcilin' I'd call everyone I loved Say what I was scared to say till then Now that I think about it Maybe I should always live like the world is gonna end We spend most our lives And almost all our time One what we don't care about What we could do without Every tragedy Is that we can't see it We can't see until time is running out 'Cause I'd be dancin' like a fool I'd eat ice cream every mornin' I'd call up everyone I loved And drive them out to California And we'd say the things that we've been scared to death to say till then Now that I think about it Maybe we should always live like the world is gonna end Live like the world is gonna end Live like the world Live like Live like Live like the world is gonna end

One day soon I'm gonna run off the edge of the world 'Cos my cries for help and my pleas cannot be heard Mine ain't the only voice in the chorus of gloom There's a million of others just waiting for doomsday Living in the hope that the powers can unify All we do is hope but the leaders they can try 'Cos there's too many battles in this world that we are fought with tongues There are too many government crackpots who don't belong 'Cos the chase is on, and we're not the prey Yeah the chase is on, and they're still running today Stop that lying, you're twisting all the words It don't make sense if it can't be heard The racing of the nations to fatality The realisation of death to you and me Deterrent of the end is at hand, who you trying to fool? We're all passed of as powerless in their rules Reactionary armies, militant brigades But all we use are words and our mouths are grenades [Chorus] Demonstrate the ignorance brought about by their laws 'Cos we've heard the crap a million times before When they get their greedy hands black and they dirty out lifes We realise there too late that they told us the lies Here it comes Nowhere to hide Nearly here Death from the skies
