lyrics

Broken pianos and cans of turpentine
Are scattered all over this desolate/deserted coastline
Nuclear radiation turned the water into wine
Is it a farewell gift from God or a warning sign?

The tide is rising and animals go wild
Toxic pollution put vegetation out of sight
Humankind is orphaned and my dog expired, too
It could have been the neighbours or the flu

According to the pious it's all because of sin
Nonetheless I don't get why they frown upon my gin
After all, if it's true that doomsday is nigh
We're better off drinking ere we die

People say the end has come, but I doubt that they are right
I still can feel the taste of champagne right there in my mouth
The sun has exploded, but we still have a bottle of rum
And we don't have to worry until it's gone
