If the end of the world is nigh
If every well is just about to run dry
When the whippoorwill is too tired to cry
Nothin' keepin us on our knees
Just watchin' ants and plantin' seeds
And the flowers ain't no better than the weeds

Clouds a'driftin' wild ramps have grown knee-high
Big wave comin' down strange lights up in the sky
Got us livin' like we're all gonna die
Finally

Well it's lookin' like the end of days
If it ain't underwater it's ablaze
We got hope and heartache in each gaze
A little thing can take your breath away
Like rain rollin' down a windowpane
Rest your head on a pretty bed of dogbane

Clouds a'driftin' wild ramps have grown knee-high
Big wave comin' down strange lights up in the sky
Got us livin' like we're all gonna die
Finally

Clouds a'driftin' wild ramps have grown knee-high
Big wave comin' down strange lights up in the sky
Got us livin' like we're all gonna die
Finally
