Share The End Lyrics
(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaningLordy, they got their heads bowed downHere come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning:"Burn the mosque," they're shouting, "Burn it down!"Save me a place, surround me with friendly facesAll of us have gathered here to share the end -To watch the world go up in flamesPlease, Lord we're not readyGive us a dayGive us an hour...Here come the kings, Let's dispense with their apologizingJust bring on the acrobats and clownsHere comes the rumble, Hang on for universal dyingPlease ignore the baying of the houndsSave me a place, surround me with deadly facesAll of us have gathered here to share the end -To watch the world go up in flamesPlease, Lord we're not readyGive us some time to work things out...Please, Lord we're not readyGive us a dayGive us an hour...Please, Lord we're not readyGive us some time to work things out...Please, Lord we're not readyGive us a dayGive us an hour...
