Hurry Down the Boulevard

We got the heat death
In thirty minutes or less
We got the last breath
There's no one left to impress
Skies are falling, no one calling
We're at the priesthole
With nothing left to confess

The power grid shut down
They're doing it again
The loudest most unpleasant sound
They're doing it again
But if floodwaters spill over the wall
I swear I'll be there before you call
Hurry down the boulevard

We got the lost cause
It was eventually found
We got the long pause
On the shakiest ground
Sea's receding, bottom feeding
We got the airwaves
And every inch of this town

To a nub ground down
They're doing it again
On the vibrating wall of sound
They're doing it again
But if hostiles hurl you like a cannonball
I swear I'll be there before you call
Hurry down the boulevard

We found the fatal flaw in the suspect device
We got the last shift change on home ice
They got the numbers but we got each other
And that's all right

We got the pills and booze
And plenty of time
We got the wingtip shoes
They can't make us rewind
Get unburdened, drop the curtain
If you want to be nowhere
I'll be there by your side

Ain't no big surprise
They're doing it again
Til you disbelieve your eyes
They're doing it again
But if the coast collapses in the shining sea
I hope you're standing there with me
We'll stand together and we'll watch it fall
Hurry down the boulevard
