Dance Like the World’s Ending

Count the sirens,

one, two,

three Smile for the last catastrophe

Red warning on the cinema sign

Everybody says we're doing fine

Paper crowns at the checkout line

You take my hand when the

grid goes white

Hear that thunder under the floor

Someone's counting down the door

If the morning never comes We

can make tonight

Dance like the whole world's ending

Clap when the ceiling bends Laugh

while the skyline's descending We'll be

the last best friends Hands up,

no pretending Sing till the signal

dies Dance like the whole world's

ending With fireworks in our eyes

The end is near

We

don't feel fear March,

march, turn around

Feel that happy warning sound

Confetti stuck to the avenue

A little ash on my dancing

shoes You say the sky has

a funny hue

I say it matches the party

dress blue

Hear that thunder under the floor

Someone's counting down the door If

the morning never comes We can

make tonight

Dance like the whole world's ending

Clap when the ceiling bends

Laugh while the skyline's descending We'll

be the last best friends Hands

up, no pretending Sing till the

signal dies

Dance like the whole world's ending

With fireworks in our eyes

Hush now, hush now,

hear the bells Sweet little song

from the emergency shells Hush now,

hush now,

don't look back Keep that smile

while the stars go black

Dance like the whole world's ending

Harder than yesterday

Laugh while the last lights are

bending We never learned to pray

Hands up, no pretending Red moon

in the sky

Dance like the whole world's ending

Wave as the planets collide

Count the sirens, one,

two, three

Smile for the

last catastrophe
