Post Apocalyptic Love Song

Everybody's already dead
This life I live is all in my head
The Lawn Mower is cutting down daisies off the graves
Making such a racket that dead are getting migraines
The pantry's fully stocked in the basement
And the sun is coming out from behind the radiation
The deer are eating apples on this side of the fence
And Grandma's got a gun, drawn the hammer from the pin

So I hold onto my stomach while i'm jumping off this cliff
Step back and take a run at it and narrowly miss
Forgive me for thinking were all the same in the end
We might as well back up and take a run at it again

I can't change the way this chapter ends
But I'll try to change the way that I live
My gas mask has new cartridges i found in the dump

I met a girl out there who followed me home
And Now we're playing checkers by light of the comet
I think she's blind in one eye, but she don't even know it
And the wild dogs are crooning songs, echo in the hills
It'll probably be the moonrise before they get their fill

So I hold onto my stomach while i'm jumping off this cliff
Step back and take a run at it and narrowly miss
Forgive me for thinking were all the same in the end
Might as well back up and take a run at it again

Wake up to the sound of the insects
Carrying off the bones into the brush
And cleaning off the remaining fragments
That we were ever here at all
But It doesn't change a thing about my dreams
And I'm still playing guitar to my friends
Life will always be for the living
And the end will always be the end

So I hold onto my stomach while i'm jumping off this cliff
Step back and take a run at it and narrowly miss
Forgive me for thinking were all the same in the end
Might as well back up and take a run at it again
