Throw in the towel

disease is coming
it's already here
the ship is sinking
the end is near
i can't get any lovin', baby
the rain is dirty
the lake is foul
the river's flowing
like a scary growl
i can't get any lovin', baby

think i'll throw in the towel
think i'll throw it at the moon
and then let out a howl

some folks in history
some folks declared
out in the forest
there is a bear
while we were looking
for ghosts in the trees
Hannibal rode his elephants
in the summer breeze
but we are the hordes now
we are calamity
we just hope our neighbors
act naturally

think i'll throw in the towel
think i'll throw it at the moon
and then, boy, how i will howl

sisters and brothers
friends or foe
stick around for the party
after the show
we'll talk about heaven
cuz it's just so swell
we'll fire up the barbecue
man, we love that smell
drink some beers
what the hell
the neighbors can come over
and ring the bell
it'll be a good time for all

the sun is rising
but it's the earth that turns
the clouds are crying
while our eyes all burn
i reach for heaven
but it isn't my turn

think i'll throw in the towel
think i'll throw it at the moon
and then, boy, how i will howl
i can't get any loving
i can't get any no how
