(Mike) And the band played on As the helicopters whirred Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn My senses finely blurred He was a rock, to the end, a solid reminder Couldn't deny a friend (Mike & Jian) We lived in the noise and the sweet amber poison (Mike) Peekin' up the skirt of the end And we'd drink, two gnarly dudes and some records Much like plates of black food (Mike & Jian) We filled up our faces, saw some far places (Mike) Stood on the roof in the nude (All) And the band played on As the helicopters whirred Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn My senses finely blurred (Mike) Between pulls, he said "We're like cows in the grass" Brushing off flies (Mike & Jian) Chaise lounging around, standing up, falling down (Mike) Till we no longer opened our eyes And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war? Cup o' troops o'er the gums (Mike & Jian) To the end of our health, a campaign 'gainst myself (Mike) Armed with bourbons and scotches and rums (All) And the band played on As the helicopters whirred Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn My senses finely blurred (Mike) Think of bombs, we're poised on the edge of disaster Whether it's right or it's wrong (Mike & Jian) We opened the window, played some Nintendo (Mike) Sang a few bars of some pretty old song: (All) Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene (Mike) I'll see you in my dreams Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction Flying graceful and free (Mike & Jian) None but the best 'cause the man cannot rest (Mike) Till he's finally beaten his Me (All) And the band played on As the helicopters whirred Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn My senses finely blurred (Mike) Till the end, he passed out on the sundeck that morning Quietly saying goodbye (Mike & Jian) But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered (Mike) Told him he couldn't just die He was a rock, went straight for his own Armageddon Face froze in a grin (Mike & Jian) Ambulance flyin' in, I never drank again (Mike) Can't really call that a loss or a win (All, acappella) And the band played on As the helicopters whirred Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn My senses finely blurred From the Liner: (Mike-lead vocal; Murray-vocals; Jean-vocals, bomb; Dave-vocals, guitar, accordion) |
