The Decemberists - Calamity Song lyrics

(You and me in the war)

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

And the Andalusian tribes
Setting the lea of Nebraska alight
Till all that remains is the
Arms of the angels

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

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

Ah ooh ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh ah ooh, ooh, oh

And you've receded into loam
And they're picking at your bones
We'll come home we'll come home

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

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

Ah ooh ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh ah ooh, ooh, oh
Ah ooh ah ooh, ooh, oh
