The End of the World Songtext

von Laurie Anderson

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me anymore

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand
No I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Oh why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know/ it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

(Instrumental)

(Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?)
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
