LYRICS (Blues Run the Game)
Catch a boat to England baby, maybe to Spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone the blues are all the same
Send out for whiskey baby, send out for gin
Me and room service honey
Me and room service babe
Me and room service, well, we're living a life of sin
When I'm not drinkin' baby you are on my mind
When I'm not sleepin' honey
When I ain't sleepin' mama
When I'm not sleepin', you know you'll find me crying
Try another city baby another town
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone the blues come followin' down
Livin' is a gamble baby, lovin's much the same
Wherever I have played
Whenever I've thrown them dice
Wherever I have played the blues have run the game
Maybe tomorrow honey
Some place down the line, I'll wake up older
So much older mama
I'll wake up older and I'll just stop all my trying
Catch a boat to England baby maybe to Spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone the blues are all the same
Lyrics (Worldender)
Worldender
With a temper just as grim as you are tender
Never close, I make the most of my own surrender
Worldender
Worldender
Driving
South 101
Got a parking ticket
In a state park in Oregon
I didn't see the sign
But I rarely do now, do I?
Smoke in my eyes
Pulled over
For a glass and a plate and a smoke break
You like half empty dives
And I like Christmas in May
And the lights went out
And I could not see my own hands
And the walls began to dance
Worldender
With a temper just as grim as you are tender
Never close, I make the most of my own surrender
Worldender
Worldender
Back to the van
Rows and rows and rows of almond trees
I clocked out for a minute
Hands at six and three
You thought we'd never make it
To see our angel in silver lake
But we did and we'll do it again
Worldender
With a temper just as grim as you are tender
Never close, I make the most of my own surrender
Worldender
Worldender

I didn’t know world ender had such a real story behind it. Definitely gained a deeper appreciation for it now.
