lyrics

when it’s time to pay the tab and all is said and done
and we’re poring over regrets of what’s led to what we’ve become
consider one aspect of our doomsday malaise
can you imagine the aroma of this world’s final days

how could we be so impossibly dense
to not ensure a more pleasant smelling apocalyptic event
it's gonna stink like hell when the world ends
it's gonna stink like hell when the world ends

have you been near the grill at the end of the day at a burger place?
have you slammed your garbage bin on a hot summer day?
you know that vacuum cleaner smell when it activates the carpet
or when a gas bubble belches in the asphalt at the la Brea tar pits

have you considered what an abandoned red lobster would smell like
or the produce section of someplace big like Walmart or Meijers

it’s gonna stink like hell when the world ends
it’s gonna stink like hell when the world ends

when the rapture comes and the lucky ones all disappear
and the rest of us are left to squabble in the dust and live in fear
imagine your resentment, as some innocent gets her wings
and you’re left smelling the rotten contents of her thawed out fridge

could not one of the great minds of ballistic or military advancement
have considered with their vastly oversized hippocampus
that when their high tech bombs are dropping all over the place
we might appreciate a hint of pine or fresh citrusy bouquet

it’s gonna stink like hell when the world ends

When I saw her perform last year she said something along the lines of, "ever make a song so good you have to perform it for the rest of your life? Don't worry, I like this song." She proceeded to perform Chance and that is without a doubt the best one, runner-up to Spring 🌆📯🐗 Sinnamon Ghost Crunch
