The End is the Beginning

That′s great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane

Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn

World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs

Feed it off an aux, speak, grunt, no, strength

The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight, down, height

Wire in a fire, representing seven games

And a government for hire and a combat site

 

Left of west and coming in a hurry with the Furies

Breathing down your neck

Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped

Look at that low playing, fine, then

Uh-oh, overflow, population, common food

But it′ll do, save yourself, serve yourself

World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed

Dummy with the rapture and the revered in the right, right

You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light

Feeling pretty psyched

 

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

It′s the end of the world as we know it

And I feel fine

 

Six o′clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign tower

Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn

Lock him in uniform, book burning, blood letting

Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate

Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down

Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means

No fear, cavalier renegade steer clear

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives

And I decline

 

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

(I feel fine)

 

It's the end of the world as we know it (it′s time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide

Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein

Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs

Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, vermouth

You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck

Right? Right

 

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it (it′s time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

It′s the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it (it′s time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

It′s the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it (it′s time I had some time alone)
