Calamity Song
The Decemberists
| | | | | | | | | | Had a dream You and me and the war at the end times And I believe California succumbed to the fault line We heaved relief As scores of innocents died And the Andalusian tribes Setting the lay of Nebraska alight 'Til all the remains is the arms of the angel Hetty Green Queen of supply-side bonhomie bone-drab If you know what I mean On the road It's well-advised to follow your own path In the year of the chewable Ambien tab And the Panamanian child Stands at the Dowager Empress's side And all the remains is the arms of the angel And all the remains is the arms of the angel Ahhhhh hoooo Ahhhhh hooo-hoo-hoo girl Ahhhhh hoooo Ahhhhh hooo-hoo-hoo girl And you've receded into loam And they're picking at your bones Will call cold We'll come home Quiet now Will we gather to conjure the rain down Will we now Build a civilization below ground And I'll be crowned The community kicked it around And the Andalusian tribes Setting the lay of Nebraska alight 'Til all the remains is the arms of the angel 'Til all the remains is the arms of the angels Ahhhhh hoooo Ahhhhh hooo-hoo-hoo girl Ahhhhh hoooo Ahhhhh hooo-hoo-hoo girl Ahhhhh hoooo Ahhhhh hooo-hoo-hoo girl Ahhhhh hoooo Ahhhhh hooo-hoo-hoo girl | | | | | | |
