"The Long Con" lyrics

"The Long Con"

We built this house around trap doors
In case of betrayal or nuclear war
We built this house around busted beams
Pragmatic romantics with troubling dreams

Now there's nothin'
Nothin' worth hidin' for anymore
Yeah, there's nothin'
Nothin' worth worryin' for anymore

So drink with me as the world ends
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Walk with me in the last remaining light

So drink with me as the world ends
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Into the endless night

I made a boat out of collar bones
And you carved a harbor from cinnamon stones
We charted course for the end of days
A plan for disaster and dancing on graves

Now there's nothin'
Nothin' worth drownin' for anymore
Yeah, there's nothin'
Nothin' worth worryin' for anymore

So drink with me as the world ends
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Walk with me in the last remaining light

So drink with me as the world ends
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Into the endless night

We made a fable from broken things
First-person poems and second-hand rings
We made a case for the long con
Cause when you travel together you've never been gone

Now there's nothin'
Nothin' worth runnin' for anymore
Yeah, there's nothin'
Nothin' worth worryin' for anymore

So drink with me as the world ends
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Walk with me in the last remaining light

So drink with me as the world ends
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Into the endless night

Drink with me as the world ends
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Walk with me in the last remaining light

Drink with me as the world ends
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Into the endless night
