I'll Be Gone

[Verse 1] Ready or not, the end is near I think it’s time to get outta here When every fire is burning, dear I’ll be gone There is a time, it’s coming soon It all could happen this afternoon And while you’re hiding in your living room I’ll be gone [Chorus 1] In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I’m gonna run while I still have time Drink a glass of the finest wine Let me toast the end of it all I’ll need a lift before the fall Before the flames consume the walls I’ll be gone I'll be gone [Verse 2] You never said what you meant to say But it’s too late for that anyway Maybe in another life, someday If you just hang on I’d stick around, but it ain’t no use Too many bodies out on the loose But I don’t need an excuse ‘Cause I’ll be gone [Chorus 2] In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I’m gonna run while I still have time Drink a glass of the cheapest wine Let me toast the end of it all I’ll need a lift before the fall Before the flames consume the walls I’ll be gone [Instrumental Break] [Outro] In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I’m gonna run while I still have time In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I’m gonna run while I still have time In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I’m gonna run while I still have time
