The Ending of the End

Honey, light the candles, pour the wine, No better way to ready us for Judgement Day
It's either winter storms 'a siegin' or 112 degrees in January, but thats okay, I like the indoors anyway

All our friends are partying, they say they're going out in style
As for you and me, I wanna watch TV, hold your hand and smile
Waiting on the ending of the end of the

World, the ending of the world
It's coming, slow and steady, buckle ups, kids, best get ready boys and girls
It's the ending of the world
As we watch this fall to pieces, we're all just praying, Jesus, can't we get this over with
Still we're waiting on the ending of the world

Mayans, Aztecs, ancient Romans, donkeys, elephants all say it's coming in a million different ways
I used to be quite nervous, but then I looked around us
As the strange keeps getting stranger, I'm less afraid to turn the page

Haven't trimmed my beard in weeks and now the dog's let on the couch
And I don't bother taking off my boots when I walk in the house
For the last eight days, been wearing dirty laundry inside out
And our bills our way past due, but honey, that don't matter now
When you're waiting on the ending of the end of the

World, the ending of the world
It's coming, slow and steady, gather round, kids, best get ready boys and girls
It's the ending of the world
As we watch this fall to pieces, for all these different reasons, can't we get this over with
Still we're waiting on the ending of the world

Waiting and we're waiting on the ending of the end

The elders of my church and I drink bourbon every Wednesday night, we're waiting, waiting
Our leaders in the capital think they control the inevitable, we're waiting, they're debating
Every waking moment we're reminded of the ticking of a clock
How much longer do we really got
We're freaking out, asleep in doubt, pretending that we're dreaming
but still never waking up to see that this is now our new beginning

Still we're waiting on the ending of the world
the ending of the world
It's coming, slow and steady, look alive, kids, best get ready boys and girls
The ending of the world
I've got things to do and life to see, but I'm greying in anxiety from the world
The ending of the world
With each passing tick and tock, I want more love for what I got at the ending of the world
As we watch this fall to pieces, we're all just praying, Jesus, can't we get this over, when's this over with
Still we're waiting on the ending of the world
