[Verse 1]
Remember when I saw a movie 'bout the rapture
Strange '70s zombie movie eschatology
One day the non-believers woke to alarm clocks
Empty houses, barking dogs
Half the human race was gone

[Chorus 1]
Oh, the minimum day
The minimum day
Took them away

[Verse 2]
I left feeling terrified
Ripped me a new behind
What happened to the people on a plane if the pilot might
Spontaneously disappear
When it goes down for real
The motherless babies and the quixotic teenagers cry

[Chorus 2]
Oh, the minimum day
The minimum day
Take me away

[Chorus 2]
The minimum day
The minimum day
Take me away
[Post-Chorus]
Once upon a time even Tom needed proof (Peter)
And Peter would sell you out
Deep down Judas was a sweet kid
James had the nerve to ask you for a VIP
I look around and say
On my hands, no I can't hide 'em
On my knees, no I can't stand 'em
On my hands, no I can't hide 'em
On my knees

[Bridge]
On my time, on that day
I'm sorry sugar but speaking's a mistake
On my time, on that day
I'm sorry sugar but speaking's a mistake
On my time, on that day
I'm sorry sugar but speaking's a mistake
I might as well just lay down and die
Ah

[Outro]
I might as well just lay down and die
I might as well just lay down and die
I might as well just lay down and die
I might as well just lay down and die
(I might as well just lay down and die)
