When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
I walk treed streets, I watch the sun set
on this godforsaken mine-camp town
Wake before dawn with a song in my head
and I have to get it down
If I sing it loud enough will it save my soul
or will it just make me cry
All I have is this sweet guitar
and a voice unable to lie
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
Tsunami hits the coastline
Shark-teeth in my gut
and the sociocultural fear: they’re gonna say
you stupid crazy slut
But Gaia has her gloves off and so do I
We’re ready to show our strength
Can’t predict what we’re gonna do,
but we’re abandoning pretence
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
If we’re not overwhelmed by the smoke,
if we don’t burn ourselves to death
Light that joint again and this time let’s inhale
cos it might be our last breath
Sit beside me, put your face on this breast
that nothing can surprise
Let me love you ‘til the end of the world
Just close your weary eyes
Till all that’s left is the secret place
where your skin touches mine
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
When the apocalypse comes to town, I wanna be
holding your hands
