aaron west & the roaring twenties - paying bills at the end of the world lyrics

[verse 1]
no one told the birds the world was ending
so they keep singing like it’s spring
i walk with colin after dinner
we split a coke and watch the sunset do its thing

[verse 2]
the church around the corner is having service on the lawn
and drawing pictures on the pavement in pastel sidewalk chalk
of doves and palms and cartoon jesus dying on the cross
i say he must be running late and we sorta laugh it off

[verse 3]
start the truck, i named her chelsea
i’m up and out before the sun
a pack of smokes, gas station coffee
that tastes like sh+t and doesn’t even wake me up

[verse 4]
some guy i knew from high school got me a job here with his dad
so now i install garage doors on the south shore while it lasts
my skin looks like a minefield; the mosquitos got me bad
but i’m happy for the work, that’s where i saw sam
[bridge]
“i thought that you got out of here in high school
i can’t believe that you came back”
you said, “we should get a drink soon, i’ll catch you up on all of that”
i said, “i get paid on fridays, meet me down at jack’s”

[chorus]
i’ve been having that dream where i’m dying again
the one where i get sick and we can’t afford it
i’ve been walking around here with no health insurance
and we can barely keep the lights on as it is
i’ve been having that dream where i’m dying again
the one where i get sick and we can’t afford it
