The Very Last Night Of The End Of The World Lyrics - Craig Cardiff

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 maybe 

(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
