From the recording Invisible Pistols

Lyrics

I pray it never comes to this
I pray it never comes to this
Where silence is golden
And ignorance is bliss
I pray it never comes to this

If ever comes a time
Of decline and decay
Where all my greatest moments
Are way back in the day
Please shoot me if I start to reminisce
Or pray it never comes to this

Where all I have are things
That were never meant to last
Where the view from my porch swing’s
Overlooking the past
Where all I love is everything I miss
I pray it never comes to this

I pray it never comes to this
I pray it never comes to this
Embracing a slowly fading
memory of a kiss
I pray it never comes to this
