Its The End Of The World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine) lyrics

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



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 aux speak, grunt, no,
strength, ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
In a
fire, representing seven games, a government
For hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in
A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team
By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low
playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
Overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save
Yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
Listen to your
heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
The revered 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 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
Towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
Churn. Locking 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,
Tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me
solutions,
Offer me alternatives and I decline

(chorus)
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 and I feel fine (it's time I had some time
alone)

I feel fine

(repeat chorus)

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
book neck, right? Right

(repeat chorus)

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 (it's time I had some time
alone)

(repeat chorus 2x)

Fine
It's the end of the world as we
know it (it's time I had some time alone)
