about

Just because life is meaningless and we're all doomed. doesn't mean we can't be nice to each other and enjoy ourselves.

lyrics

Come dance with me,

All human life is doomed, but there’s such a lovely moon,

Come dance with me,

There’s fire in the skies, and it quite brings out your eyes,

Come dance with me,
There’s chaos and there’s fear, and it’s music to my ears,

Come dance with me,

It’s only the end of the world,

Every day you put your finger on the trigger, and pull it. 
There’s forty thousand chambers and in one of them’s a bullet,
Deactivate the safety, aim it at your head, 
Close your eyes and count to ten and find out if you’re dead
Every day you pray you’ll make it safely through the game alive,
The clicking of the mechanism tells you survived,

And suddenly your senses get intensively extended,

And the shit that’s insignificant gets set right in perspective.

Work starts early? Turn up late.

Boss getting stroppy? Fuck that, mate.
I ain’t a dog for scrapping in the gutter for my dinner,

Every day without a break I’ve been a motherfucking winner.

Every day I face the spectre of my death, and I beat it.

And every scrap of fate on my plate, I eat it.

Any move that you can think of, I’ve countered in advance.,
So stop trying to fight, and come and have a dance.

Come dance with me,

While civilisation burns, we can take a couple of turns,
Come dance with me,
At the dying of the light, dance into the endless night,
Come dance with me,
All flesh is doomed to rot, would you care for a gavotte?

Come dance with me,
It’s only the end of the world,

What fate awaits at later dates? it was always written,
The fatal trait’s innate, mate, we lose for too much winning,
Bacteria in a test tube consume themselves to death,
They eat each other’s bodies and they breathe each other’s breath,

It’s their necessary destiny, death beckons eventually,
Spent vessels whose energy, quits the system as entropy,
Death follows life surely as night follows day,

All things that are living give up the ghost this way, life’s a

Pathology, with a 100% mortality rate,
It’s not just
 biology, it’s the ultimate end of reality, mate.
The most persistent systems will inevitably perish,

This capricious existence is necessarily cherished.
The firmament’s impermanent; it’s certain there’s a terminus;
Curtains for both the verminous worst of us and for the virtuous,

Some see the setting sun and try vainly to race it,

Others just enjoy the colours, and embrace it.

Come dance with me,

Let’s watch the asteroids coming through the inky void,
Come dance with me,
There’s music in the air, let’s enjoy it while it’s there,
Come dance with me,
The world has turned to shit, so let’s make the most of it,
Come dance with me,
It’s almost the end of the song.

With apologies to Henry Purcell. There's a bit of his Music For The Funeral Of Queen Mary that I nicked for the string part in this.
