Apocalypse? Now please!

A song which shows the end of the world can be quite the fun! Lyrics: The sirens sing so sweet tonight, Like lullabies in neon light, The sky’s on fire, what a view— It really brings out red in blue. The neighbors wave, “Well, this is it!” Then argue where the best seats sit, With folding chairs on shattered streets— Apocalypse with front-row seats. “Oh, did you hear?” “It’s quite the show!” “Five stars,” they say, “before we go!” So raise a glass to falling skies, To meteor showers and last goodbyes, We’ll dance as everything unwinds— Who knew the end could feel this fine? Sing loud, sing wrong, sing out of key, Like nothing matters (’cause nothing will be), If this is how it all must end— At least we’re laughing with our friends. The oceans climb the avenue, They always said they’d like the view, Now fish are swimming past the bar— “Excuse me, is this still happy hour?” The power’s out, the band plays on, An unplugged version of “So Long,” A drummer taps on broken glass— We cheer and beg the night to last. “Oh, what a vibe!” “What a release!” The world ends… somewhat peacefully. So raise a glass to falling skies, To borrowed time and alibis, We’ll toast to all we didn’t do— And laugh like we all meant to. Spin me once more, just for the spin, Let chaos lose, let joy still win, If curtains fall on all we’ve known— At least we didn’t face it alone. And someone shouts, “It’s all absurd!” Another hums a final word, We harmonize in sweet cliché— “Guess it all works out… some way.” Ash falls down like winter snow, We catch it gently as we go, A strange, ironic, warm embrace— The end has such a friendly face. So raise a glass to burning dawns, To everything we’re leaning on, We made a mess, we made it bright— A glowing end, a lovely sight. Sing loud, sing wrong, don’t overthink, We’re out of time—but not of drink, If this is our last melody— Let it be loud. Let it be free. The sirens fade… the laughter stays, A perfect end to awkward days, And as the stars fall out of view— We wink and say, “Well… cheers to you.”
