bonjour tristesse (dsbm) - the end of the world lyrics

the end of the world lyrics
“when the world ends, white dust will fill the air like the curtain at the end of a play
a rain of desperate bodies will fall from the windows of burning buildings, drumming the concrete below.”

the end will arrive as a thief in the night
step by step it will tear your world apart
factories will disappear overseas
corporations vanish into thin air
cities dying from the inside out will spread like ringworm
the shrapnel spray of suburbs slicing through forest and field

“wars will reach from continent to continent and nеighborhood to neighborhood
tides will rise with global warming
acid rains will fall with thе last of the redwoods
computer systems will crash with stocks and stock markets
species will vanish with increasing speed
the timebombs ticking will be your synchronized heartbeat
you will feast upon the dead
your body will become a graveyard for rotting corpses
your lungs will be filled with toxicity until one day everyone has cancer.”

maybe nothing will happen at all
business will continue as usual:
prison guards pace concrete tombs
psychiatrists contemplate madness

it’s after the end of the world, don’t you know that yet?
“when the world ended, people came out of their apartments
and met their neighbors for the first time;
they shared food, stories, companionship
no one had to go to work or the laundromat;
n0body remembered to check the mirror or scale or email account
before leaving the house. graffiti artists surged into the streets;
strangers embraced, sobbing and laughing
every moment possessed an immediacy formerly spread out across months
burdens fell away, people confessed secrets and granted forgiveness
the stars came out over new york city;
and nine months later, a new generation was born.”
