Dark Days - Graham Parker

Dark Days Lyrics

The sun has a solar flare
The earth just tilted on its axis
The demon lies in his lair
And licks at the Goddess AbraxasVolcanoes long, long dormant
Send up plumes of gas
An India and Pakistan
Start talking trashIn these dark days, darkLet's walk to the nearest cliff
Let's walk to the river
But there's been a seismic shift
I felt the whole earth quiverLet's hold the party we said we would
I'm always whole
And me with their blood on my hands
And you with their goldIn these dark, dark, dark days
In these dark days, um darkYour conscience is worthless here
Go peddle it under the street lights
The hubris of love you carry
Is attracting a swarm of meat fliesBrandish, brandish your weapon, baby
Sharpen your sharpest knives

If you're not the king or the queen
You're just a working for the hiveIn these dark, dark, dark days
In these dark, dark daysDark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark daysWell, well, well
The sun has a solar flare
The earth just tilted on its axis
The demon lies in his lair
