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.
My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And we've drunk a couple bottles, baby
And set our grief aside
The papers say it's doomsday
The button has been pressed
We're gonna nuke each other up, boys
'Till old Satan stands impressed
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the Earth burns to the ground
Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in
You put your finest suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh, we're going out in style, baby
And everything's on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say: Goodnight, love
While my organs pack it in
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the Earth burns to the ground
Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves—
Oh, it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Yes, it's you I welcome death with
As the world, as the world caves in
As the world caves in
