Last Night On Earth - Lee Ranaldo and the Dust

The last night on earth

The last thing we wanted

Was to see the sunrise

The last thing we wanted

The last night on earth

Was seeing daylight in your eyes

The last thing we saw

Before the light hit the night

Is now scattered in time

The last thing we thought

Before the lights all went bright

Was such a surprise

Every which way the wind blows

Don’t try to make it on your own

Stay away from the window

Keep the chill out of your bones

We said something about a dance

And the things we’d remember

And then we moved through the night

One last time

We were turning all our inner thoughts

To those nights in September

And then we moved

Scattering light

The last night on earth

The last thing we wanted

Was to see the sunrise

The last thing we wanted

That last night on earth

Was seeing daylight in your eyes

Life is so short

So hungry in spots

So hard to survive

We did everything right

And then the lights hit the night

And lit up our eyes

No matter which way the wind blows

You’ll never make it out alone

There’s a devil in every window

No one left on the telephone

Then we landed out on the tide

We can take it or lose it, last chance to move it

Now we’re standing on the edge of time

We can take it or lose before it all shuts down
