lyrics

The end of the world is drawing nigh
Oo, I felt a drop, the flood's but a hop,
a hop and a skip and a jump from the end of it all

The rumbling clouds are gathering,
Oo, conspiring there, inspiring terror
I wouldn't bother buying green bananas if I bought 'em at all

Oo, but if you were there
Falling beside me, I'll tell you that I'd be
The luckiest doomed soul smashing at the crash of a fall

We'll ride on a ferris wheel
as long as we'd want to
Nobody would be there to stop us
No fortunes left to rob us

We'd rise and fall into the sky
And squint at the flashes
We'd try to see through our lashes
The world that we remembered

Gardens of corpses' hands will sprout
And nip at our ankles, they won't even rankle us
We'll slough 'em off and trample 'em and stamp 'em like an arcade game

We could hide in a fuselage
Right in the rubble, there wouldn't be trouble
We'd sleep in first class 'till the monsters go back where they came from

Oo, but if you were there
Clutching my arm, see, why, nothing could harm me, no nothing at all
The end of the world would only be the start of it all
The end of the world would only be the start of it all

The stars like missiles fly
And crash with a clangor
They'd strike their chords of anger
We'll clasp our hands so tight they're red and white

And all around us spinning wildly
Monsters, stars, forming an eddy
You'd turn to me, politely
Saying, "hold on tight. Hey, are you ready?”
