And the band played onAs the helicopters whirredDrunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawnMy senses finally blurredHe was a rock To the end, a solid reminderCouldn't deny a friendWe lived in the noise and the sweet amber poisonPeekin' up the skirt of the endAnd we'd drinkTwo gnarly dudes and some recordsMuch like plates of black foodWe filled up our faces, saw some far placesStood on the roof in the nudeAnd the band played onAs the helicopters whirredDrunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawnMy senses finally blurredBetween polesHe said "we're like cows in the grass"Brushing off fliesChaise-lounging around, standing up, falling downSongtexteTill we no longer opened our eyesAnd we'd drinkEver notice how drinking's like warCup of troops o'er the gumsTo the end of our health, a campaign 'gainst myselfArmed with bourbons and scotches and rumsAnd the band played onAs the helicopters whirredDrunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawnMy senses finally blurredThink of bombsWe're poised on the edge of disasterWhether it's right or it's wrongWe opened the window, played some nintendoSang a few bars of some pretty old songIrene, goodnightIrene, goodnightGoodnight, IreneGoodnight, IreneI'll see you in my dreamsO! To dreamThose impotent bones of extinction Flying graceful and freeNone but the best, 'cause the man cannot restTill he's finally beaten his meAnd the band played onAs the helicopters whirredDrunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawnMy senses finally blurredTill the endHe passed out on the sun-deck that morningQuietly saying goodbyeBut I was so hammered, I sputtered and stammeredTold him he couldn't just dieHe was a rockWent straight for his own ArmageddonFace froze in a grinAmbulance flying in, I never drank againCan't really call that a loss or a winAnd the band played onAs the helicopters whirredDrunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawnMy senses finally blurred Aus Songtexte Mania
