It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake

Birds and snakes, an aeroplane

And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn

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

speed it up a notch, speak, grunt, no strength

The ladder start to clatter with fear of height, down height

Wire in a fire representing seven games

And a government for hire at a combat site

Left her wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies

Breathing down your neck

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

Look at that low plane, fine then

Uh-oh, overflow population, common group

But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself

World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat

tell me with a rapture and the reverend 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 time I had some time alone)

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine



Six o'clock T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign towers

Slash and burn, return. listen to yourself churn

Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, bloodletting

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 and 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, it's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine, I fee fine



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

(It's time I had some time alone)

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the, 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, bug net, right, right



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

(It's time I had some time alone)

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

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

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

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

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine, fine



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

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end....
