A Funeral
* * *
If today was the last day that people survived
There would be a festival, a big party tonight
The remnants of food would all be shared
For hundreds of years this feast has been prepared
When the music is over, all things will cease
Let's bury anthropocene, we'll bury the ease
with overindulgence, the orgy is great
Don't run, just have fun, before it's too late
Now dance while you can till it's over
Let the music take you along
Sing while you can till it's over
each song may be the last song
it won't be long
Feel the rhythm, surrender, dance and don't care
It is hot and ecstatic and loud for the fair
It's a thrill, a jag, a trance, a cheap mart
Enjoy the final fete, take it all, die hard
We knew what we should, didn't do what we could
So maybe tomorrow we'll vanish for good
The day after or later we might all be gone
But if it's next week - let the party go on
Now dance while you can till it's over
Let the music take you along
Sing while you can till it's over
Each song may be the last song
Just hang on
