Chorus

Whisky at the end of the world

Where the clocks all melt and stop

Pour another round for the lost boys, girl

On this cliff where the cosmos drops

Whisky at the end of the world

Verse 1

I was ridin' on the bones of a dead freeway

Sky on fire, turnin' black into chrome

Ash rain fallin' on a burned-out Sunday

Radio screamin' but I'm all alone

Then I see it like a mirage in the smoke there

Rusty sign buzzin' red, dead, and cold

Swingin' doors at the edge of nowhere

Sayin', WELCOME TO THE END OF THE WORLD

guitar solo

Pre-Chorus 1

Boot heels echo on a floor made of gravestones

Every barstool carved with somebody's name

In the glass I saw my own reflection

But in my own reflection

But my face was wrapped in chains

Chorus

Whisky at the end of the world

Where the last lost sinners come to crawl

Pour another shot for the boys and girls

Who missed their chance to fall

Whisky at the end of the world

Raise it up till the heavens crack

If the universe burns, let it all unfurl

We ain't ever goin' back

Verse 2

In the corner there's a gunslingin' angel

Black wings stitched from old leather and rust

Dealin' cards to a one-eyed stranger

Every losin' hand turns into dust

There's a preacher with a snake 'round his collar

Sellin' prayers for a bottle of sin

Says, Son, you're only one more swallow

From never seein' mornin' again

Pre-Chorus 2

Jukebox hummin' like a nuclear halo

Plays a song that I swear I never knew

But every wicked little line in the verse

Was somethin' I already did or would do

Chorus

Whisky at the end of the world

Where the last outlaws come to hide

Pour another shot, let the smoke unfurl

We're the ghosts of the wild outside

Whisky at the end of the world

Toast the sins we can't reverse

If the stars fall down like shattered glass

We'll be laughin' through the curse

Post-Chorus

Hey, hey, drink it down, let it all unwind

Hey, hey, no tomorrow, no exit sign

Verse 3

Bartender's got a scorpion halo

Eyes like two old cigarette burns

Says, Every road you never took, kid,

Is stacked up in the bottles that you earned

I see my bike in the wasteland dyin'

Metal bones sinkin' into the tar

There's a bar tab written in lightning

And my soul's on it, under one more star

Pre-Chorus 3

He says, You can leave when the bottle is empty

You can run when the glass runs dry

But the whisky keeps refillin' itself

Every time I blink my eyes

Chorus

Whisky at the end of the world

Where the clocks all melt and stop

Pour another round for the lost boys, girl

On this cliff where the cosmos drops

Whisky at the end of the world

Where the neon bleeds like a wound

If the sun burns out and the black rolls in

We'll be howlin' at the doom

Bridge

I said, Hey, barkeep, what's the damage

He just grinned with a rattlesnake smile

Said, You've been drinkin' here

Since your first bad choice,

Tab's been runnin' for a long, long while

Every outlaw in the shadows turned

Every pair of eyes burnin' gold

And I knew this ain't a bar at all

It's where all your stories get told

Bridge Lift

So raise your glass if you got regrets

Raise your glass if you're out of time

If you're ridin' that line 'tween heaven and hell

There's a bar right here on the borderline

Final Chorus

Whisky at the end of the world

Where the last lost sinners come to crawl

Pour another shot for the boys and girls

Who ain't afraid to fall

Whisky at the end of the world

This is where all roads collide

If the whole damn sky goes up in flame

We'll be laughin' on the underside

If the whole damn sky goes up in flame

We'll be laughin' on the underside
