lyrics

Singing the old songs
Before the bomb dropped
I ask "Have you read Peter or Paul?"
She says "No, friend"

She ask me have I read Peter or Paul?
I say I forget

Or have I read Dorothy Day
"I remember the name"

Singing the old songs
With thunder as applause
She tells me did I know there's no more alcohol?
"The storehouse cleared out
It's not quite as tall
As it looked before the bomb."
Even as it looked shortly after the bomb

Bowling in the street
Pins and needles from the breeze
I fall over and I'm looking up
Fall is over.

Who called it the end of time?
Lineage sounds like a line
But it's really a boulder
And it's rolling down the street
I'm on the sidewalk
And I'm ready to leave

Already missing the heat
Fall is over
We're on the edges of history
But the edges don't stop
