Apocalypse or Bust Songtext
von Underthings

The obelisk stood all alone
A calendar engraved in stone
The mason banged his thumb and cussed
Apocalypse or bust!

The prophesy has been revealed
Papyrus scrolls just now unsealed
So read them ′fore they turn to dust
Apocalypse or bust!

Apocalypse! Apocalypse!
Bearded prophet grant my wish!
Check that I am on the list
I'll blow my dog a farewell kiss

Apocalypse! Apocalypse!
The final time is here, is this!
So do not blink or you will miss
The final bliss, Apocalypse!


The magic square adds up each side
The date is sure to coincide
Except for sinners lost in lust
Apocalypse or bust!

Careening at the edge of time
Thinner than a silver dime
Whereon it reads "In God We Trust"
Apocalypse or bust!

Apocalypse! Apocalypse!
Nostradamus grant my wish!
Check that I am on the list
I′ll blow my dog a farewell kiss

The preacher on the corner tells
Of heavens, one, but many hells
"Repent and join the good and just!
Apocalypse or bust!"

On bully billboards see the blazon
Time will shrivel like a raisin
But lo! the billboards turn to rust
Apocalypse or bust!


Apocalypse! Apocalypse!
Quetzalcoatl grant my wish!
Check that I am on the list
I'll blow my dog a farewell kiss

Apocalypse! Apocalypse!
The final time is here, is this!
So do not blink or you will miss
The final bliss, Apocalypse!

Apocalypse! Apocalypse!
Apocalypse! Apocalypse!
