[00:00.31]“Apocalypso”
[00:06.94]Before the world drew nigh here
[00:09.99]the news was in my head.
[00:13.51]The sky was full of vapour trails
[00:16.32]the sun shone bloody red.
[00:20.19]“will we really die here?”
[00:22.92]A passing stranger said.
[00:25.92]I said “I don’t know
[00:27.56]but I must be getting home.”
[00:29.83]Apocalypso!
[00:32.57]The sun poured forth a million volts
[00:35.56]of disdain on the land.
[00:39.42]The sky was full of nuts and bolts
[00:42.42]which moved at some command.
[00:45.28]John chain-smoked by the radio
[00:48.87]a pencil in his hand.
[00:51.95]Then my lover walks in
[00:53.79]and sits down as in a trance.
[00:55.64]Apocalypso!
[01:11.03]“Let’s go to bed” I say then
[01:14.37]she follows right away.
[01:18.01]She is in the bathroom
[01:20.84]as the sky begins to gray.
[01:24.26]“Will we really die here?”
[01:27.71]I hear my lover say.
[01:30.56]In my arms she cries
[01:32.13]and I wonder “why I’m here?”
[01:34.22]Apocalypso!
[01:37.31]“Will we really die here?”
[01:40.52]The words run through my head.
[01:44.06]“Will we really die here?
[01:46.95]Or are we already dead.”
[01:50.78]I turned to see her standing there
[01:53.63]“Please come to bed” she said.
[01:56.51]And I moved to her
[01:58.12]through the growing haze of red.
[02:00.51]Apocalypso!
