It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
(from official lyric sheet)
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, regardless of your own
needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder
structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire,
represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site.
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down
your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look
at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common
group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and
the reverent 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 and book
burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel
crush, crush. Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and
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 the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St.
Edelite. Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic,
patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right.
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...fine...
