Share The End Lyrics - Carly Simon

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman) 

Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaning 

Lordy, they got their heads bowed down 

Here come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning: 

"Burn the mosque," they're shouting, "Burn it down!" 

Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces 

All of us have gathered here to share the end - 

To watch the world go up in flames 

Please, Lord we're not ready 

Give us a day 

Give us an hour... 

Here come the kings, Let's dispense with their apologizing 

Just bring on the acrobats and clowns 

Here comes the rumble, Hang on for universal dying 

Please ignore the baying of the hounds 

Save me a place, surround me with deadly faces 

All of us have gathered here to share the end - 

To watch the world go up in flames

Please, Lord we're not ready 

Give us some time to work things out... 

Please, Lord we're not ready 

Give us a day 

Give us an hour... 

Please, Lord we're not ready 

Give us some time to work things out... 

Please, Lord we're not ready 

Give us a day 

Give us an hour...
