the End Of Everything

Call the cops and tell them what I want My battery's a hundred percent, it all made sense A bomb for a body, a hammer for a head My battery's a hundred percent, it all made sense All your stories are about your death The lemmings on the way to the cliff, the brain-dead boys Calling you a hooligan, a Border Reiver git The boxer with a box of old shit, the big white noise It's all about the money now You put the hard drive in the microwave You antelope, you are a sack of wine Huh, huh Call the cops and tell them what I want My battery's a hundred percent, it all made sense Just blame it on the empire, blame it on the empire Blame it on the empire, blame it on the empire, I don't know It's all about the Benjamins It's all about the wilderness for me Tomorrow is a wonderful idea Huh, huh It's the end of the contender The end of the contender It's the end of the contender The end of the contender Feeding time, animatronic eyes Are a-watching with delight (the end of the contender) A churning mind, oh, give me that rabid smile Those Creddahornis eyes Call the cops and tell them what I want My battery's a hundred percent, it all made sense A bomb for a body, a hammer for a head My battery's a hundred percent, it all made sense (It all made sense) The end of the contender The end of the contender The end of the contender The end of the contender

This is the end of everything, this is the end I know. This is the end of everything, take your love with you when you go. This is the end of happiness, this is the end dreams. This is the end of everything, it's the end for you and me. I don't know, what to do. In my heart I still love you. I don't know, what to say. I will always feel this way. This is the end of everything, this is the end I know. This is the end of everything, take your love with you when you go. Oh...

Everyone you love is gonna die But darling, so is everything, don't cry The stars will blink out one by one in time And everyone you love is gonna die Everything you fear is gonna end All your hate and hurt lost to the wind And it's hard, I know the universe could be a jealous friends Everything you fear is gonna end And there might not be a sadder thing Than watchin' Saturn lose her rings And black holes slowly dancin' in the dark It's a song that they were born to sing About the end of everything Until it all goes up in one last spark Everyone you love is gonna die But so is everything, so wipe your eyes You know nothin' lasts forever, but Lord, we try Everyone you love is gonna die All the saints and sinners are the same We're blessed then we obliterate And that's how it was written from the start It's a song that we were born to sing About the end of everything Until it all goes up in one last spark Everyone you love is gonna die So don't you let the moment pass you by And man, there really ain't no sadder thing There really ain't no sweeter thing

Who needs remote control? The way I feel right now is impenetrable And on a big fourth down, a bump in the road The shortest little tunnel ride from lake to Monroe Ring, ring, ring, oh my death machine You know it rings all day, it doesn't mean anything I took the ride line south, the mask on my mouth For all my friends in different metropolitan towns For all my friends in different metropolitan towns It's just another wrinkle in the cloud It's what you get It's where you are That's how we're built What a world What a world It's what you get It's where you are It's not a race What a world What a world It's like a whistle in the wind Feels like the end of everything Who sees the thread in the veil? I need my government check, it got lost in the mail And for the fresh new pack, fifteen on the bill Everything considered, still a drop in the pail Ooh-wee, check your messages please I'm in the crib these days, where would you rather be? I miss the brown line track, too close to the screen 'Cause that view of the city is my favorite scene Yeah, that view of the city is my favorite scene Covered up the wrinkles underneath It's what you get It's where you are That's how we're built What a world What a world It's what you get It's where you are It's not a race What a world What a world

At the end of the end It's the start of a journey To a much better place And this wasn't bad So a much better place Would have to be special No need to be sad On the day that I die I'd like jokes to be told And stories of old To be rolled out like carpets That children have played on And laid on while listening To stories of old At the end of the end It's the start of a journey To a much better place And a much better place Would have to be special No reason to cry On the day that I die I'd like bells to be rung And songs that were sung To be hung out like blankets That lovers have played on And laid on while listening To songs that were sung At the end of the end It's the start of a journey To a much better place And a much better place Would have to be special No reason to cry No need to be sad At the end of the end

It's the way of the world, sadly Lovers choose their lovers, badly Oh, I should've asked for one more minute, one more minute next to you But I never had the courage, I couldn't talk when you moved So I choked and stretched my bones, to the point of bleeding And you're moving on, moving on, moving on But tell me, what was I supposed to do? A done deal decided and I signed it too At least the end of the world is quite the view It's thе way of the world, sadly Lovers choose thеir lovers, badly But tell me, do you look at her when she gives you her body? Do you grab her head with both hands? Do you let love thrive, do you let love thrive? Are you soaked and drenched in gold, in your bed, in the morning? Do you beg her for one more minute, one minute more? But tell me, what was I supposed to do? A done deal decided and I signed it too At least the end of the world is quite the view A done deal decided and I signed it too At least the end of the world is quite the view But tell me, do I ever cross your mind? Are you proud of how you survived? She puts her head on your shoulder And I see the way your eyes linger But tell me why it seems so different with her?
