Jill Sobule - 25 Cents (The End is Near) Lyrics

The end is near the signs are clear
The alley cars have disappeard
They foresee the wrecking balls.
Our sacred halls, the all will fall
Bid farewll to this noble booth
Take my headphones off and raise my glass to
Hot spur massacre double pleasure
Twenty five cents. Twenty five cents

My cup of coffee at the Howard Johnson
Twenty five cents. Twenty five cents
The peep show lovelies the Pussycat Palace
Twenty five cents. Twenty five cents

They're coming here to cleanse our souls
With dynamite blasts leaving deep deep holes.
Say goodbye to your dealer your pimps and freaks there's real folks now comin' through our streets

Say goodbye to:
A world of fun, shocking violence
For twenty five cents. Twenty five cents

Put your quarter in the slot
And your dreams come true
Twenty five cents. Twenty five cents
Live live live triple x
The boy on the corner with his Marilyn dress
Warmth in the subway is getting colder
This junk dog's heart beats a little slower

Now they're telling me which songs to play
It's time for me to just fade away
Hot spur massacre double pleasures
Twenty five cents. Twenty five cents
My cup of covvee at the Howard Johnson
The peep show lovelies the Pussycat Palace
Twenty five cents. Twenty five cents

Put a quarter in the slot and your dreams come true.
