The End of the World Dance
Song A Day #620

Dmaj  Gmaj  
I dreamt that waves of empty parking lots
Amaj
Were suddenly filled with blood
Out of rotting supermarkets
Lines of dancing food
Bmin Gmaj
Kittens purred
Bmin  Amaj
A tornado stirred
Dmaj   Amaj
And no one knew what to do
The rain was splashing down
On the hoods of abandoned cars
A man with baggy jeans
Stood repeating the word "guitar"
Lightning struck him
He became tur-duck-en
And no one
Knew what to do

Dmaj  Gmaj Amaj
It's the end of the world dance
The apocalyptic romance
Bmin  Gmaj
When all the snowmen melt
Bmin  Amaj
And the sun leaves gaping welts
Dmaj Amaj  Dmaj
And no one knows what to do

Dairy cows kill farmers
Pigs eat human flesh
When asked if they enjoy it
They answer more or less
And explosion, a sigh
An archangel in the sky
And no one knew what to do

Jesus cam and said "yep
It's all according to plan
Four horsemen were there
Singing songs
Written by Jonathan Mann
Aliens watched
Sipping 20-year old scotch
And no one knew what to do

It's the end of the world dance
The apocalyptic romance
When all the snowmen melt
When the sun leaves gaping welts
And no one knows what to do

A pile of men was burning
In the middle of a field
Another pile of men
Was using the first pile as a shield
Bitter bold
Thunder rolled
And no one knew what to do

Some hid under rocks
Some hid underground
As the ocean riding tide
And the waves began to pound
Sky fell
The earth swelled
And no one knew what to do

It's the end of the world dance
The apocalyptic romance
When all the snowmen melt
When the sun leaves gaping welts
And no one knows what to do


Computers came to life
And started taking over
I saw a man get sucked
Into a leaf blower
Sirens wailed
The internet failed
And no one knew what to do

Religious wars all ended
And everyone got along
The melody of Armageddon
Was their dying song
Horses neighed
The band played
And no one knew what to do

It's the end of the world dance
The apocalyptic romance
When all the snowmen melt
When the sun leaves gaping welts
And no one knows what to do

Hell was filling up
And heaven overflowed
Neither of them were built
To carry such a load
Out of space
The human race
And no one knew what to do

Bodies floating freely
Out among the stars
Winter vines and hydrogen cells
Mixed with electric cars
Nowhere to go
With your family in tow
And no one knew what to do

It's the end of the world dance
The apocalyptic romance
When all the snowmen melt
And the sun leaves gaping welts
And no one knows what to do

Pumpkins and bananas fought
On the steps of Capitol Hill
A police officer came up
As his guts began to spill
Banana won
And he set off towards the sun
And no one knew what to do

Animals and machines
Started mating wildly
Mechanized rhinoceroses 
To put it mildly
Robo-giraffe
Mecha-hyena laugh
And no one knew what to do

It's the end of the world dance
The apocalyptic romance
When all the snowmen melt
When the sun leaves gaping welts
And no one knows what to do

Well I toiled in the bank vault
But my heart was in a storm
Though each limb was cold
My center was still warm
I felt her touch
She popped the clutch
And no one knew what to do

Riding in the backseat
I slept until I woke
The air was hot and stuffy
Dark and filled with smoke
My home was gone
The road stretched on
And no one knew what to do

It's the end of the world dance
The apocalyptic romance
When all the snowmen melt
When the sun leaves gaping welts
And no one knows what to do
