Julien

The end was coming
Everyone knew
Said their goodbyes, their farewells and adieus
Some took to highways
Some took to hills
Some took cyanide, and other strange pills
Crimes were committed
Corks had been popped
Last dances, last suppers
It couldn’t be stopped
It couldn’t be stopped
And all the drugs had been copped
All the politicians had a last plan
Of course they couldn’t agree on
The fate of the land
And they scrapped and they scrambled
Like the curs that they are
Off to their shelters
Or their rockets to stars
And as for me, well I
I hadn’t a clue
Thought I’d stick around
To free the animals from the zoo
Then Julien
Under my staircase
You waited for me
If I would come in or come out
You would see me
Julien, Julien
Meet me at the end
The end of the world
Julien
Smelled like a ghost
Left no footprints
As if he could float
You understood me
Though we’d never met
Said you’d be good to me
And I should let you
Undo the rain
Then everything sang
You had an affliction
But I didn’t care
Then you kissed me
And tugged on my hair
Julien in your moth-eaten coat
Inhaling the stars
We lay down
In your empty boat
Julien, Julien
Meet me at the end
The end of the world
Meet me at the end
Meet me at the end
Meet me at the end of the world
