Calamity Song Lyrics[Intro]
(You and me in the war)

[Verse 1]
Had a dream
You and me in the war of the end times
And I believe
California succumbed to the fault line
We heaved relief
As scores of innocents died
[Chorus 1]
And the Andalusian tribes
Setting the lea of Nebraska alight
Till all that remains is the arms of the angels

[Verse 2]
Hetty Green
Queen of supply-side bonhomie bone-drab
You know what I mean
On the road
It's well advised that you follow your own bag
In the year of the chewable Ambien tab

[Chorus 2]
And the Panamanian child
Stands at the Dowager Empress's side
And all that remains is the arms of the angels
And all that remains is the arms of the angels

[Hook]
Ah ooh
Ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh, ooh, oh

[Bridge]
And you've receded into loam
And they're picking at your bones
We'll come home
We'll come home
[Verse 3]
Quiet now
Will we gather to conjure the rain down?
Will we now
Build a civilization below ground?
And I'll be crowned the community kick-it-around

[Chorus 1]
And the Andalusian tribes
Setting the lea of Nebraska alight
'Til all that remains is the arms of the angels
'Til all that remains is the arms of the angels

[Hook]
Ah ooh
Ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh, ooh, oh2
