It's The End Of The World As We Know It...
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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, dummy serve 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, 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 and 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 towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in, uniforming, 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 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, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book 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...
