Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaningLordy, they got their heads bowed downHere come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning:"Burn the mosque, " they're shouting, "Burn it down!"
Save me a place, surround me with friendly facesAll of us have gathered here to share the endTo watch the world go up in flames
Please, Lord we're not readyGive us a dayGive us an hour
Here come the kings, Let's dispense with their apologizingJust bring on the acrobats and clownsHere comes the rumble, Hang on for universal dyingPlease ignore the baying of the hounds
Save me a place, surround me with deadly facesAll of us have gathered here to share the end -To watch the world go up in flames
Please, Lord we're not readyGive us some time to work things outPlease, Lord we're not readyGive us a dayGive us an hourPlease, Lord we're not readyGive us some time to work things outPlease, Lord we're not readyGive us a dayGive us an hour
Carly Simon
Share the End
