lyrics

I'm waiting for the end of the world
I know it's going to happen, I'm just that kind of girl,
The end is creeping nearer with teeth bared and claws unfurled,
The light is growing dim, the air is growing thin,
And here I'm waiting for the end to begin.
I'm waiting for the end of the world,
Good bye, Good bye, Good bye.

I'm waiting for the end of the world
I'm dressed for the occasion in heels and vintage pearls,
My hair is up like Hepburn’s, lipstick on, eyelashes curled.
The stars are going out with a whisper, not a shout
And I'm waiting here without a shadow of doubt
I'm waiting for the end of the world,
Good bye, Good bye, Good bye

The winds have all gone still, nothing grows nor never will,
The livestock all fell ill, only mankind left to kill,
And there's blood across the moon, and the birds are out of tune,
The sky was dark at noon, and the end is coming soon.

There's tears across the sky and the oceans have boiled dry,
No tears left to cry, as we wait alone to die,
And the air's too hot to breathe, but there's no one left to grieve,
Don't bother to deceive, we know there's no reprieve

I'm waiting for the end of the world
I know it's going to happen I'm just that kind of girl,
The end is creeping nearer with teeth bared and claws unfurled,
The light is growing dim, the air is growing thin,
And here I'm waiting for the end to begin,
I'm waiting for the end of the world,
Good bye, Good bye, Good bye
