Eve of Destruction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
at the end of the chemical chain
they're keeping all the futures that remain
a prisoner in every cell
and no water in the deepest well
eve of destruction here she comes
now that my fingers are all thumbs
she'll lock me away in the tower
and crush all my years into just one hour
though she was once in elegance wed
bitter were the tears she shed
i'll say goodbye to pleasure and to pain
though i'm falling in love again
when it comes for summer we'll sing
as the shadows fall across everything
eve of destruction yes she came
burning every eyelash every name
folded all the shadows up again
said 'i was born and free i am'
though she was once in elegance wed
bitter were the tears she shed
