Hardly tried for you
Spoke my mind for you
And I broke my rib for you
But that was before
But that was before
Hey hey

[more noises]
[even more noises]

Apocalypse, Baby

[Aaahs]
Girls just wanna have fun
But the world's about to end
Burning sunsets in my head
I got a latte in my right hand
I got my car keys in my left
Banished my baggage to the back seat
I left my guilt under the bed
And I just wanna kno-o-o-o-ow
How long do I ha-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ave?
Can I be sexy when I'm dead?
[CHORUS]
They say the world's gonna end
But I just can't get my head around it
I'm so alive
and I don't wanna be dead
Everything's gonna end but
I guess we all pretend
Like we'll enjoy it forever
Like we'll never be -
[Aaahs]
Plastic little daisies
Plastic little hearts
Plastic little bodies moving blindly
Beautiful in the now
And everything I want is
Just signing my own will
I wanna be the baby in the backseat
Not a care in the world
But everything I do is
Just killing her softly
Just killing her slowly
[CHORUS x 2]
They say the world's gonna end
But I just can't get my head around it
I'm so alive
and I don't wanna be dead
Everything's gonna end but
I guess we all pretend
Like we'll enjoy it forever
Like we'll never be -
[BRIDGE]
Say your prayers and open wide
Mama says it's gonna be alright
Close your eyes when the thick of it hits
Try hard not to think about it
All your fears and all your love
You never got to kiss a God
You did your best, you tried so hard!
I'd give you all of my gold stars
It's a messed up world
And it's not your fault
And we're all just here on a floating rock
I'm so sorry!
It's the apocalypse, baby
I'm so sorry!
It's the apocalypse, baby
[CHORUS x 2]
They say the world's gonna end
But I just can't get my head around it
I'm so alive
and I don't wanna be dead
Everything's gonna end but
I guess we all pretend
Like we'll enjoy it forever
Like we'll never be -
Baby
It's just a little apocalypse, baby... mmm...

Riding in my airship
Like it's 2032
I got helium inside my little trusty air balloon
Gonna ride into the desert
'Cause I'm looking for this dude
If you see him let him know that
I've been looking for you
You said why's it gotta be like this?
I said the future's always happening
And you can run but you can't hide
And either either orther way
It's written in the sky
[CHORUS]
I've been sailing all around the world
Hack into the matrix like a carrier pigeon
The oil gods did their worst
(those mother fuckers)
And most of Oceania is one big ditch now
I've been sailing all around the world
(honey, honey)
I'm your post-apocalyptic bitch from the future
My airship doesn't run on fuel
(duh!)
It's a solar-powered hydrogenised tank on a scooter
Obviously
That's what it is
What it is
What it is
Riding in my airship like it's 2032
Growing veggies on my littler solar-panel powered roof
Got my dingo in the back
Got my pilot kangaroo
'Cause we're post the damn apocalypse and
I'm looking for you
You said why's it gotta be like this?
I said you made your bed, now lie in it
And you can run but you can't hide
And either either orther way
It's written in the sky
[CHORUS]
I've been sailing all around the world
Hack into the matrix like a carrier pigeon
The oil gods did their worst
(those mother fuckers)
And most of Oceania is one big ditch now
'Cause I've been sailing all around the world
(honey, honey)
I'm your post-apocalyptic bitch from the future
My airship doesn't run on fuel
And I'm starting to think that
I shoulda got on that spaceship

Old Ghost

Old ghost
Tiptoe around my body
Old ghost
Spirit inside the machine
Will you
Just tell me that you love me?
Oh I don't
I don't even really know you
I don't even really know myself
I don't even really know where you begin
and where I end
You're playing with my haunted atoms
You're throwing the bones like
They'll tell you something good
I wish they would
Mmm
You're playing with my haunted atoms
You wonder if they'll call
You're begging for premonition
God's writing on the wall
But nothing here's gonna save you
From eating your own tail
From eating your own tail
And coming back for more
Coming back for more
Coming back for more
When your mind comes home
And your body's
Cold
And your old ghost
Tiptoes around mine
(And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine)
And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine
And I don't
I don't wanna live forever
But I don't wanna be the first to go
Hanging round in the spirit world
Just chilling with my
Uncle Iroh
I know nobody really owes me
and I don't own my body
and all this borrowed time
is just a reason I should say
You're playing with my haunted atoms
You wonder if they'll call
You're begging for premonition
God's writing on the wall
But nothing here's gonna save you
From eating your own tail
From eating your own tail
And coming back for more
Coming back for more
Coming back for more x 10
When your mind comes home
And your body's
Cold
And your old ghost
Tiptoes around mine
(And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine)
And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine
(And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine)
And your old ghost
Tiptoes around mine
(And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine)
And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine
(And your old ghost
tiptoes around mine)
And your old ghost
Tiptoes around
Mine

While We Were Here

Sorrow is our birthright
Grief is our inheritance
Humanhood is strange, now
Tell me, does it ever make sense?
I got my body on my birthday
All wrapped up in cellophane
Threw away the wrapping and
Forgot to check the use-by date
Spend your whole life wondering
If this will be the last day to say
I'm so sorry but I
Can't stay
Won't stay
This way
I can be your friend still, someday
I'm so sorry but I -
My body screams until it stops
I missed your face til I forgot the shape
Will you remember me
The way I was?
(incomplete)
But don't you think we had a good time, good time?
While we were here it was a good life, good life,
And every sunny year I held your hand through
And every second that I knew I loved you
My heart feels like a hurricane
20 years imprisoned by
the prison called my rib cage
The guards gave me my dinner,
ate the meal, kept the spoon,
now I've been digging my way out
I'll see you real soon
'Cause I really want you
And I did really want to be here
For you
I'm so sorry but I
Can't stay
Won't stay
This way
I can be your friend still, someday
I'm so sorry but I -
My body screams until it stops
I missed your face 'til I forgot the shape
Will you remember me
The way I was?
(incomplete)
But don't you think we had a good time, good time?
While we were here it was a good life, good life,
And every sunny year I held your hand through
And every second that I knew I loved you
Those sunny days down by the water
All that love for your future daughter
Every book that you ever read
Every time she said that she cared
I tried to love you good
But I knew it could never be enough
I tried to love you good
But every time you just stood me up
But don't you think
We had it good?
While we were here,
misunderstood our quest
but still
we had the best years of our life
While we were here!
But don't you think we had a good time, good time?
While we were here it was a good life, good life,
And every sunny year I held your hand through
And every second that I knew I loved you
'Cause don't you think we had a good time, good time?
While we were here it was a good life, good life,
And every sunny year I held your hand through
And every second that I knew I loved you
But don't you think we had a good time, good time?
While we were here it was a good life, good life,
And every sunny year I held your hand through
And every second that I knew I loved you
