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....
