Welcome to the End – My friend

 It stared raining cats and dogs last night, bringing traffic to a halt, and hasn’t stopped since.

It’s raining above, it’s raining below
I’m not really sure where it is I should go.
My head’s really aching, there’s a storm in my ears
And the raindrops that fall are forming puddles of tears.

It’s never been worse than I tell it today,
For even the righteous have got lost on the way.
The plagues are returning, ’cause it’s time for revenge.
While on the TV they are screening the end,
My friend, welcome to the end.

The temperatures rising to one hundred and ten.
The floods are returning, Noahs gone round the bend.
Outside Piccadilly there’s a circus in full swing
You can rent a gondola there if that is your thing.

On the plains of Costra Brava it’s snowing like hell.
And my stomach is hurting, I’m not very well.
I’d call for a doctor but there’s no one to send
They’re all down in Menphis awaiting the end,
My friend, welcome to the end.

This is the end, there are no dress rehearsals.
No last reminders will be sent.
This is the end, no time for praying
No point complaining for time ill spent.
Here comes the end.

There ain’t no excuses left, you better say your prayers.
The politicians took the ark, they reconvened in pairs.
I bought myself a one way for the shuttle to Mars
Maybe we can start  from scratch, under the stars.

It’s time for goodbyes my friend, There’s no more I can say.
It’s going to be over by the end of the day.
‘Twas nice while it lasted but it’s far too late to mend
The show to end shows has now come to an end
My friend
Welcome to the…..
