lyrics

I brew some beer and grow bud in the back of my garden next to my crumbling house
it's been decades now since everyone left and I stayed behind
an occasional tourist is walking around
and I've seen a drone with a camera attached
and I hide inside till everyone's gone then I come back out
I spend my time getting high getting drunk
and watching the buildings falling apart
like me they'll crumble and turn into dust on Gunkanjima

I'm sick of fish but it's all that I got
an occasional rat I throw them in my pot
with the vegetables I grow, it's not a lot
but it's all I need
and I could never let her go
her body's buried in a field below
and the world has changed, yeah this I know
but I've stayed the same
I brew some beer and grow bud in the back of my garden next to my crumbling house
it's been decades now since everyone left and I stayed behind.
