it s the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine

R.e.m.

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
Dummy serve your own needs
Feed it off an knock, speed, grunt, no, strength
The Ladder start to clatter with a fear fight down, height

Wire in a fire representing seven games
And a government for hire at a combat site
Left her and 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 food
But it ll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs
Listen to your heart beat
Dummy 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 end of the world as we know it
(It s time I had some time alone)
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
blood letting
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 end of the world as we know it
(It s time I had some time alone)
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 tripped at Knox
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 end of the world as we know it
(It s time I had some time alone)
It s the end of the world as we know it
(It s time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine... fine
