lyrics

Take it from Chad, take it from 'Clef, refugee camps they aren't the best
But they're often all that's left
I know you're in mourning too, hey if there's anything we could have done
Hey if there's anything I can do

Gallows humor won't keep this encampment safe
But it looks like we're gonna have some time to waste

So turn the sonar scrambler on, sing me some old camping song
There's room enough in this tent for both of us
Pretend it's not the end of time, pour me a whiskey and iodine
There's room enough in this tent for both of us, and what passes for lust

I never used to talk to men
It put me off my dinner when I saw my sister sin
In the parking lot after church with the pastor's son
She's gone now, so is most everyone

Jesus was a good guy I guess
But he never quite prepared me for this mess

So turn the sonar scrambler on, sing me some old camping song
There's room enough in this tent for both of us
Pretend it's not the end of time, pour me a whiskey and iodine
There's room enough in this tent for both of us, and what passes for lust

I knew bats would do us in, on my last church group mission
We all road tripped down to Austin
By the Congress Avenue Bridge, I felt them flying all over me
A hundred thousand of Satan's kids

I know you just lost someone
But if you don't make me pregnant, the bats have already won

So turn the sonar scrambler on, sing me some old camping song
There's room enough in this tent for both of us
Pretend it's not the end of time, pour me a whiskey and iodine
There's room enough in this tent for both of us, and what passes for lust
