VERSE 1 Big news burst over frequencies Saying 'Peril! C'est Tout! C'est le fin' Talking heads assessed best outcomes In the end, all agreed things would end bad VERSE 2 She said 'I'm sick of your cleverness' Spat, fence-sitter! But I'd lost the thread She said 'I'm leaving you tonight, I mean it, I'm leaving with Quebec.' VERSE 3 I'm leaving california Detroit, halifax I'm leaving all of you So you can't leave me back CHORUS (On what we later learned was) The Very Last Night of The End of The World If this is all you get, how will it be spent? Ashamed? or Alone? Angry? Drunk? Shouting blame, or mabe (Or better spent) Fearless, Joyous, Kissing, Laughing, Dancing, Holding onto hope as long as hope can be held onto. VERSE 4 It's your last little lie, your last cigarette Your last sip of alcohol, a love song's pirouette The You the song gets sung to With imploring convincing hands Singing 'Blue skies would be bluer if you'd just give this love a chance' VERSE 5 After leaving Quebec She abandoned Berlin Got out of Chicago when the air got thin VERSE 6 Fleeing Paris Burning Sicily The Lakes drank up Toronto The Vampires drank Calgary. REPEAT CHORUS x2
