[verse] Chicken Little with his sandwich board so wants to talk Most times ignoooored [Phase-shifted banjo] [bridge | minor key] Looks like a bum What could he know of where we're from or where we go [Heavy spring reverb] [chorus] The. End. Is nigh. The end is nigh [verse] Goes home alone when he can’t speak at all Cries and he moans as we speed toward the wall [verse] His telly talks until he drools He drops a pill then all is cooool [sigh] [verse] Why can’t they see despite their running they can’t outrace what he knows' coming [Lengthy melodic Telecaster solo] [bridge | minor key] World winds down Watch spent spring Only he sees what stopped time brings [chorus] The. End. Is nigh. The end is nigh [Eerie Telecaster solo] [verse] Afraid of the time of coming apart the losing of light and fear of the dark street preacher knows the cost of the crimes the twilight is finite We're all out of time [chorus] The. End. Is nigh. The end is nigh Past time to fly (Goodbye) (Goodbye) Never know why (A lie) (A lie) He can hear God sigh (Why) (Why) [instrumental] [fade out]
