Cold War Kids - Minimum Mistake Lyrics

Remember when I saw a
Movie bout the rapture
Strange 70s zombie movie eschatology
One day the nonbelievers
Woke to alarm clocks
Empty houses barking dogs
Half the human race was gone

Oh, the minimum day
The minimum day
Took them away

I left feeling terrified
Ripped me a new behind
What happens to the people
On a plane if the pilot might
Spontaneously disappear
When it goes down for real
The motherless babies
And the quixotic teenagers cry

Oh, the minimum day
The minimum day
Take me away
The minimum day
The minimum day
Take me away

Once upon a time
Even Tom needed proof
And Peter would sell you out
Deep down Judas was a sweet kid
James had the nerve to ask you for a VIP
I look around and say
On my hands, no I can't hide 'em
On my knees, no I can't stand 'em
On my hands, no I can't hide 'em
On my knees

On my time, on that day
I'm sorry sir there must be some mistake
On my time, on that day
I'm sorry sir there must be some mistake
On my time, on that day
I'm sorry sir there must be some mistake
And on my time, on that day

I might as well just lay down and die
I might as well just lay down and die
I might as well just lay down and die
I might as well just lay down and die
I might as well just lay down and die
(I might as well just lay down and die)
