Roses in the Rubble

Verse 1

Silver

The suit is pressed

I find a seat among the wreckage

Distant screams

A bloody mess

The table’s set with heavy lead

Chorus

But I’m feeling fine

Everything is coming up roses

Yeah I’m feeling fine

The world is ending just like I planned

I’m feeling fine

Everything is coming up roses

Yeah I’m feeling fine

Verse 2

Ruin

The fire climbs

The sky is turning charcoal black

Watch it

Watch it fall

Watch it burn

One more drink for the road

Ice cubes clinking against the glass

No more tomorrow

No more today

A lovely sight

Chorus

But I’m feeling fine

Everything is coming up roses

Yeah I’m feeling fine

The world is ending just like I planned

I’m feeling fine

Everything is coming up roses

Yeah I’m feeling fine

Bridge

The moon is cracked

The stars are gone

The band plays on

I’m singing loud

I’m singing clear

I’m singing now

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Empty

The streets are wide

I walk alone through the crater

Smoke

Soot

Dust

Nothing left to lose

Just a song and a grin

The curtains close on everyone

Chorus

But I’m feeling fine

Everything is coming up roses

Yeah I’m feeling fine

The world is ending just like I planned

I’m feeling fine

Everything is coming up roses

Yeah I’m feeling fine

Outro

Goodnight

Sweetheart

It’s over now

The show is done

The show is finished

The show is gone
