Its the end of the world as I know it (and I feel drunk)


I was writing songs outside of the Lostwood House. My friend Dan told us that while he was at the liquor store, a guy walked in a yelled that he wanted "pickled pigs feet and Goldschlagger." He said I should throw it into a song. I decided it would make a fun intro.


I was having one of those days. You know the kind where you pray for a comet to race out of the sky and destroy the earth. Not really hiding too much in this one...not that I ever really do.


Pickled Pigs Feet
Goldschlagger
I've got a book of food stamps
Long since expired

Like the milk in my fridge
Like my hope for humanity
God I know that humanity
Will never listen


I want to watch it end
I want to watch it burn
While listening to R.E.M.
And forgetting all the words


Well I'm praying for a wave
That's tidal, blue and true
Something big enough
to wash away
all the debt that I've accrued
Take the stories from the bars
That were close but not the truth
All the hope for true love
and the hearts that I've abused


I want to watch it end
I want to watch it burn
While singing along to REM
and forgetting all the words

I want to watch it end
I want to watch it burn
While listening to REM
and forgetting all the words


(Its the end of the world as we know it, Its the end of the world as we know it, Its the end of
world as we know it and I feel fine...)
