this is a few years old; i've never performed this...

i went to the mountain of fire to find a god that would let me sleep
what i found was an old man sitting waiting wasting time and counting sheep
he asked me "how many words to you put in a sentence,"
"how many sentences in a week?"

he said "son, you talk too much if the answer's more than three"

i'm waiting for the end of the world
i'm waiting for the end of the world
i'm waiting for the end of the world
cause when everybody's gone i will be king

i went to the bottom of the ocean to find a place to eat
what i found was a young girl sitting in a shell and selling beads
she said one is for the money, and two is for the show
three will get you off, and four will steal your soul

but five's a different story, five you can't afford
so you best turn right around and get your ass out my door

i'm waiting for the end of the world
i'm waiting for the end of the world
i'm waiting for the end of the world
cause when everybody's gone i will be king

i went to the end of my rope to see if i could find some peace
what i found were fourty others hanging there dangling feet
i told them to go, thanks for holding on to my place
they just laughed and shook me off falling in the grey

i'm waiting for the end of the world
i'm waiting for the end of the world
i'm waiting for the end of the world
cause when everybody's gone i will be
cause when everybody's gone i will be
cause when everybody's gone i will be king

happy ending
