lyrics

Lost in a world that's torn apart
Mutually assured destructive hearts
Freezing in the fallout of your love
Mistrust has no half-life

Radiation roses, acid rain
Sitting in the bunker counting cans again
You and me and no one else forever
Flipping skipping records

Is this the end of our world?
Scour the landscape for missing parts
You can't jimmy rig my heart
If we both dig down real deep
Before the blitz and the WWIII

Fire in the sky ash all around
How could we know we'd burn the whole thing down?
Unstable glances lit the fuse
This is not a test drill
This is not a test drill!

Is this the end of our world?
Scour the landscape for missing parts
You can't jimmy rig my heart
If we both dig down real deep
Before the blitz and the WWIII
We could find some peace

Enter: Modern Adult Kicks (9/13/22), their most ambitious and self-possessed album to date. ... more
