A Bang and a Whimper Lyrics

You said that I was a drunk the day you left me
You said you could not take it anymore
Said you had nothing left to give,
I didn't want to live,
Just drink and watch TV on the floor
This universe, they say, has been expanding
I'd like to have you here on that final day
You know it ain't no violent crime
It ain't the end of time
Whole world gonna end soon anyway

And now I see there's one last way to prove
My depth of love for you
And I got that feelin' comin' strong

If you will stay here one more time
I will put you from my mind
Don't change that dress that you got on
Just a bang and a whimper and you're gone
He look like Pat and talk like Jimmy Swaggart
It's got to be the truth... it's on TV
And there was nothing left to do
'Cos he already knew
The way this whole d*** world will cease to be

I never understood these matters
But now I understand them well
I got my rifle back today
I see there's just one way
To save us from a world that's gone to hell
And now I see there's one last way to prove
My depth of love for you
And I got that feelin' comin' strong

And you won't catch me sleepin' sound
'Til I put you in the ground
Don't change that dress that you got on
Just a bang and a whimper...
Just a bang and a whimper and you're gone
