Roman candle cruisers Lighting up the trees Crackle from their radios and voices in the breeze The raiders come at sundown "It's the law, son, clear the beach" My message in a bottle pouring out in front of me Yeah we thought this was heaven Exploring the apocalypse Come, build something with me, love At the end of the world It's the end of the world Watching the sun Slip out of touch Pinker than paradise Redder than blood 300 stairs back to civilization I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs Cemetery city The truth about where I grew up Songs I loved to sing revealed themselves as requiems A virgin place, the cleanest slate And all the whitest lies For 27 years I guess my mind was occupied Yeah the clubs are all closing It's time for everyone to find their homes The street spirits stumble in circles "It was here I could've sworn It was here I could've sworn" Watching the sun Slip out of touch Pinker than paradise Redder than blood 300 stairs back to civilization I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs Totem Park is dark now And we're piling in the car Four squished in the back, and through the sunroof there's the stars We had our reservations Yeah we knew something wasn't right But we drove around the edge of 'em and went on with our lives Watching the sun Slip out of touch Pinker than paradise Redder than blood 300 stairs back to civilization I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs Put me in cuffs I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs Put me in cuffs 300 stairs back to civilization Yeah I'll sit on the beach 'til they put me in cuffs
