Night of the Comet

Tiny Desk Concerts is a video series of live concerts hosted by NPR Music at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen in Washington, D.C. The first Tiny Desk Concert came about in 2008 after Boilen and NPR Music editor Stephen Thompson left South by Southwest frustrated that they couldn't hear the music over the crowd noise.

The comet took it all tonight
Nothing left behind, but I survived
Despite the given odds at hands 
And I would do it, I would do it all again                         

Apocalyptic candlelight
Hysterical asides of anachronistic times
Looking out for signs of life
Like how we used to have

But I am here along with you

Surviving outside, sisters in arms 
United at last by the whims of chance
Bad blood behind. You and I 
Have a claim to everything

Never thought I'd miss his eyes
His foolishness for which he threw it all away
15 bucks he owes me now 
And I will get my bank, I will get my bank

But now it is all a distant past
For all that we know cash ain't worth a damn
The world is a deserted land 
Whose weight is on our hands
