‘Famous Last Words’ is a story on two levels, both literally and metaphorically, about two lovers enjoying their last moments together in the face of a bomb and apocalyptic blaze.
The song is about the realization that, in the end, when there will be nothing left – when it’s all said and done, why...
[Intro]
"Let's take another five minutes"
[Verse 1]
After the wash
Before the fire
I will decay
Melt in your arms
[Chorus 1]
As the day hits the night
We will sit by candlelight
We will laugh, we will sing
When the saints go marching in
[Verse 2]
A for a heart
B for a brain
Insects and grass
Are all that remain
[Chorus 2]
When the light from above
Burns a hole straight through our love
We will laugh, we will sing
When the saints go marching in
[Post-Chorus]
And we will carry war no more
[Bridge]
All our love and all our of pain
Will be but a tune
The sun and the moon
The wind and the rain
Hand in hand we'll do and die
Listening to the band that made us cry
We'll have nothing to lose
We'll have nothing to gain
Just to stay this real life situation
For one last refrain
[Chorus 1]
As the day hits the night
We will sit by candlelight
We will laugh, we will sing
When the saints go marching in
[Post-Chorus]
And we will carry war no more
