lyrics

This is the end of the world as we know it
The spiderwebs show it
In black and white

Time once stretched out like an eternity before us
But now it’s upon us
Like a hawk

The highways laid down in our youth
Turn to landslides of hard truth
A ticking time bomb in your head
To try to dull the gnawing dread

We’ll go for a drive
And we’ll have the night
If tomorrow the world falls apart
And it breaks both our hearts
We’ll be all right

Waiting — kill anxiety with magazines
While our future’s hanging
On threads of hope

What should have been a remedy
Was an ersatz lobotomy
Long days fade to lonely nights
I do what’s right and fight this losing fight

We’ll go for a drive
And we’ll have the night
If tomorrow the world falls apart
And it breaks both our hearts
We’ll be all right

Lightbulb on the floor that awful night
Who’s that at the door — are you all right?

White room — destination that we never wanted
But our house is haunted
By ghosts of despair

My tired heart sinks, you slip away
On one sunny July day
A haunted house, an empty bed
I pack our things and move ahead

We’ll go for a drive
And we’ll have the night
If tomorrow the world falls apart
And it breaks both our hearts
We’ll be all right
