World Could End

from City Garden by Jess Klein

lyrics

I'm goin' down to the river
I'm gonna tear off my clothes
I'm gonna swim in the current
Cause when it dries up nobody knows

And I may seal up my fate
Yeah I may step up to die
But lord knows I been dyin' here
Just too scared to fly

The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
And we don't know when
We don't know when

There's a man in the reeds
Yeah he's slitherin' down there
Throwing his venom on the world
That I held dear

And now he's drainin' my blood
He's hissin' Dance or be dead
But I'm not waitin to kick up my heels
I heard what he said

The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
And we don't know when
We don't know when

You wanna wait here that's your choice
But I heard a higher voice
Heard it callin' out my name
Through my pain
Sayin' come on girl
You wanna dance again?

The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
And we don't know when
We don't know when

The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
The world could end
And we don't know when
We don't know when

I'm goin' down to the river
I'm gonna tear off my clothes
I'm gonna swim in the current 'cause when it dries up
Nobody knows
