The End

"The world is ending"

They said

I didn't believe them

A moment later

You called me on the telephone

"Stay where you are"

You said

"I'm coming to get you"

The tremble in your voice

Told me it was

True

You had no car

Neither did I

So we tried to run

It was no use

Everything was on fire

From Manhattan

To Jersey

From New York

To Japan

We couldn't get out

Only one of us could make it

If we tried

You couldn't leave me

I wouldn't leave you

So you took my hand

Together

We ran through the streets

Broke into that old club

In the Bowery

You held me in your arms

And we slow-danced

On that old sticky floor

To the sirens

And screams

While the world burned down

Around us

I didn't cry

I wasn't even scared

Because

I was going to spend the rest of my life

Looking into your eyes

Everything would be

Okay
