From the recording Doomsday
Ever feel like the world is ending? Pandemic? Wildfire? Seriously, what's next 2020? My friend, Olivia Rudeen, and I wrote this little love song for the end of world. I guess we just have to laugh sometimes so we don't end up crying all the time. Brian Bergstrom, your incredible playing and production really brought this track to life. Thank you! I feel so lucky to work with you. And Jesse Dreher, thanks for adding that tasty piano! When it's all falling apart, and you look up and see you're with the one you love, you realize it could be a whole lot worse. Who would you spend Doomsday with?
Lyrics
Old Leroy said he finally heard from Jesus
And Armageddon’s starting Friday night
Saw him dropping his Sunday best off at the cleaners
So he’ll be starched and pressed for the end of times
Honey now, I don’t mean to scare ya
I see you’ve hardly touched that waffle on your plate
And you’ve been reading that headline about North Korea
And a missile pointed at the U.S.A.
I can see you’re worried these things might come true
May sound funny but I kind of hope they do
‘Cause we can drag our Airstream out to the pasture
Turn it into a fall out shelter
Bury it down ten feet underground and live safe and sound for a week or two
Outside the world may be going up in flames, but it’s all cool
Long as I can spend Doomsday with you.
We’ll stock the shelves with Twinkies and Tequila
And anything else that’ll keep for a while
The only electricity would be between us
I’ve always loved the way you look in candlelight
We can drag our Airstream out to the pasture
Turn it into a fall out shelter
Bury it down ten feet underground and live safe and sound for a week or two
Outside the world may be going up in flames, but it’s all cool
Long as I can spend Doomsday with…
You always were the only one on earth for me
So if we really were the only ones, it wouldn’t bother me…
So if old Leroy really called it
If someone pushes that big red button
In an Airstream down ten feet underground
We’ll live safe and sound for a week or two
Bring on the Apocalypse
If I can still kiss your lips, it’s all cool
Long as I can spend Doomsday with you.
Funny but I almost hope it all comes true…
