Calamity Song Lyrics - The King Is Dead - Decemberists

Had a dream 

You and me and the war of the end-times 

And I believe 

California succumbed to the fault line 

We heaved relief 

As scores of innocents died 

And the Andalusian tribes 

Setting the lay of Nebraska alight 

'Til all that remain is the arms of the angels 

Hetty Green 

Queen of supply-side bonhomie bone-drab 

(Know what I mean?) 

On the road 

It's well advised that you follow your own bag 

In the year of the chewable Ambien tab

And the Panamanian child 

Stands at the dowager empress' side 

And all that remain is the arms of the angels 

And all that remain is the arms of the angels 

When you've receded into loam 

And they're picking at your bones 

We'll come home 

We'll come home 

Quiet now 

Will we gather to conjure the rain down? 

Will we now 

Build a civilization below ground? 

And I'll be crowned the community kick-it-around

And the Andalusian tribes 

Setting the lay of Nebraska alight 

'Til all that remain is the arms of the angel
