"The World Is Ending" lyrics

"The World Is Ending"

Like a California woman
With a global point of view
You wear it well, it's unbearable
You found it in Peru
Well, five stars, great, you got it made
I've been reading the reviews
It's a new world, babe, I can't behave
As if I know what to do

'Cause I belong to an older song
It's a feeling unrelenting
And I might have apologized
But I have never been wrong
I know the world is ending

Your birth inspired spontaneous choirs
Angels heralding you
The psychic's vision came to pass
The critics all withdrew
The palm leaves laid for you to play on
They sway as you come to
And all of this new happiness
Makes it all the more uncouth

That I belong to an older song
It's a feeling unrelenting
And I might have apologized
But I have never been wrong
I know the world is ending

Yeah, I belong to an older song
It's a feeling unrelenting
And I might have apologized
But I have never been wrong
I know the world is ending

Until they send some scientist
To come and prove me wrong
I know the world is ending
I know the world is ending
I know the world is ending
I know the world is ending
