R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It And I Feel Fine lyrics

Your rating:

That's  great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
Snakes, an aero plane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn, world
Serves it's 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 it's 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.

Refrein:
It's the end of the world as we know it (2x).
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, informing, 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.

Refrein.

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
Aymbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it (2x).
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel
Fine...fine...

(It's time I had some time alone).
