This is the end - this is the parting shot
The countdown has begun.
No weather cancellation, no crowd in expectation.
No delay in childish fractions, o chance for remedial action.
This is the last - this is the legacy
To see what we've become.
For what we took for granted; they never could have lasted.
For what we leave behind - to whom the blame's assigned.
But we can smile, if we want to. If we can.
But we can try to fill our senses one more time.
One more time.
There's nothing more - the box is empty
Cut its losses and run.
Do we stand and remonstrate? Did we just arrive too late?
Repeat the question so bereft - we can see what we have left
And now it's over - the final second
Of what we might have done.
Do we wish or reminisce for what and who we'll miss
Or face up to it now, hope that we can cope somehow.
Or we can smile if we want to, if we can.
Yeah we can try to fill our senses one more time.
One more time.
Cos we can smile if we want to, if we can.
Yeah we can try to fill our senses one more time.
One more time
