lyrics

I used to think the Earth revolved around the sun.
You're the ones who are stupid.
You're the fools! Everyone!
Except you.
You believed me when no-one else would.
Fell in love with you more than I should have.
'Cos the world is a time-bomb and my wristwatch is two minutes late.

I've been waiting.
Waiting so long for this day.
For this trial.
And this judgement, the jury's away.

Come take my hand, my darling girl.
We're both witnesses to the end of the world.
With balls of fire and pillars of salt;
It's all my fault.

I used to think that magic made the apple fall.
And a man named Newton said that's not the case at all.
But I know that's not true.
And it made him hysterical,
When I said the world's not spherical.
I turned round and told him that round things would never stay still.

I've been waiting.
Waiting so long for this day.
(For this day. For this day.)
Now we're inhaling acrid gasses,
And we're still dying.

Come take my hand, my darling girl.
We're both witnesses to the end of the world.
With balls of fire and pillars of salt;
Look what I have found, lying on the ground:
Love.

As we await the well-lit transition,
I shouldn't tempt fate with my Doomsday predictions.
So pay no attention to Darwin's speculations.
If you do it will be too late.
If you do it will be too late.

Come take my hand, my darling girl.
We're both witnesses to the end of the world.
Let's share warm lips with racing hearts,
And wait for the fireworks to start.

Come take my hand, my darling girl.
We're both witnesses to the end of the world.
With balls of fire and pillars of salt;
It's all my fault.

And I'm sorry...
