Party at the End of the World

Calling Paris
Come in, London
Come in, New York
Hello, Rio
The bad news is the world is ending
The good news is there's a party
But you better get here quick

When you feel like a written-off actor on Deadwood
About to get fed to the pigs
When that preacher's bus from hell, blastin' just cowbell
Parks itself in front of your gigs

There's a place you can go called Tierra del Fuego
Down in the Southern Hemisphere
It's kinda Troy without Helen, past the Straits of Magellan
And things are always looking up down here

'Cause there's a party at the end of the world
Where the locals do the tango twirl
Forget the temples in Nepal, cancel the fete in Montreal
There's a party at the end of the world

Well, it seems like I've run out of reasons to be here
So I'm just gonna steal from myself
If your attitude's appalling, there's a latitude that's calling
Get yourself past that continental shelf

Now the band that we hired is playing quite inspired
Singing Eskimos and eunuchs from Bangkok
And the location's so nice, we'll never run out of ice
'Cause Antarctica is just around the block

There's a party at the end of the world
Where the locals do that tango twirl
Now don't make that big mistake-a and wind up with Miss Jamaica
At the party at the end of world

Flying machines, yellow submarines
French girls in cowboy décor, d'accord
RSVP isn't needed, you see
And they all just be screaming for more, amour

In case you haven't heard, things are getting quite absurd
No one really shocks us, that's for sure
Roadside bombers and tsunamis, oh god how I miss those commies
No one really plays fair anymore

But I've spoken to the yogis, had some meetings with my roadies
Who tell me that arrangements are complete
Just below the roaring forties, I am going to fly some sorties
So you best reserve that cherished window seat

To the party at the end of the world
Where the locals do that tango twirl
I don't care about the rapture when there's native girls to capture
There's a party at the end of the world

Who cares if there's no playa?
We'll be rocking in Ushuaia
At the party at the end
You surely must attend
The party at the end of the world
