Dusk AM from Dusk AM by Monsieur Herr

Lyrics for the lyrically inclined:

When the formalities end
And the fighting starts up again
They're dropping all pretense
Not even calling it self-defense
Now we're sitting in the kitchen where the coffee's going cold
We've been waiting here so long and now the counter's growing mold
Oh, I know what you're thinking, that you've got a heart of lead
Oh, I can see you're laughing, but your eyes are swollen red

Chorus:

The day the San Andreas fault splits in two
The day the first slowflake falls in the Sahara
Oh, that'll be the day they pull the plug on me and you
But every second that moment's getting closer
Every second the siren's blaring louder
There'll be nothing doing as our vision gets whiter
And our skeletons turn to gold and silver

Chorus 2:
I've been trying hard not to be cynical or mean
But sometimes all I want to do is lie in bed and scream
I promise I'm not crying, there's just something in my eye
I promise I'm not crying, there's just something in my
