Carly Simon Share the End Lyrics

Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaning
Lordy, they got their heads bowed down
Here come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning
Burn the mosque, they're shouting, burn it down
Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces
All of us are gathered here to share the end
To watch the world go up in flames
Lord, we're not ready
Give us a day, give us an hour

Here come the kings, let's dispense with their apologizing
Just bring on the acrobats and clowns
Here comes a rumble, hang on for universal dyin'
Please ignore the baying of the hounds
Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces
All of us are gathered here to share the end
To watch the world go up in flames
Lord, we're not ready
Give us some time to work things out
Please, Lord, we're not ready
Give us a day, give us an hour
Please, Lord, we're not ready
Give us some time to work things out
Please, Lord, we're not ready
Give us a day, give us an hour
