SMASHING PUMPKINS LYRICS - Doomsday Clock

"Doomsday Clock"



Is everyone afraid?

Is everyone ashamed?

They're running towards their holes to find out

Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead

A message to our friends to get out

There's wages on this fear

Oh so clear

Depends on what you'll pay to hear



They're bound to kill us all in whitewashed halls

Their jackals lick their paws



Please don't stop it's lonely at the top

These lonely days when will they ever stop?

This doomsday clock ticking in my heart

Not broken



I love life every day

In each and every way

Kafka would be proud, to find out

I'm certain of the end

It's the means that has me spooked

It takes an unknown truth to get out

I'm guessing I'm born free, silly me

I was meant to beg from my knees



Please don't stop it's lonely at the top

These lonely days when will they ever stop?

This doomsday clock ticking in my heart

These lonely days when will they ever stop?



We gotta dig in

Gas masks on

Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed

If this is living?

Sakes alive!

Well then they can't win

No one survives



Is everyone afraid?

You should be ashamed

Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead

Kissing that 'ol sun to know all there is

Come on, last call

You should want it all



Ah, it's lonely at the top

These lonely days when will they ever stop

This doomsday clock ticking in my heart

These lonely days when will they ever stop

This ticking in my heart

Is everyone afraid?
