The End of the World

It all happened

When we weren’t expecting it

The bombs fell

On that terrible day

We moved from our living room

Into the basement

And have remained

There ever since

We sit together

And alone below all

Burning out the day

And burning out the night

When the world

Was on fire

We just lit up spliffs

And kept getting higher

All the while

We were hiding

In the basement

Carefully secluded

Reality became

A travesty

All too plain to see

Nobody went away

On that day

We hid

Like cowards

At high noon
