Last Night On Earth

The last night on earth
The last thing we wanted
Was to see the sunrise.

The last thing we wanted
The last night on earth
Was seeing daylight in your eyes.

The last thing we saw
Before the light hit the night
Is now scattered in time.

The last thing we thought
Before the lights all went bright
Was such a surprise.

Every which way the wind blows
Don't try to make it on your own
Stay away from the window
Keep the chill out of your bones.

We said something about a dance
And the things we'd remember
And then we moved through the night
One last time.

We were turning all our inner thoughts
To those nights in September
And then we moved
Scattering light.

The last night on earth
The last thing we wanted
Was to see the sunrise.

The last thing we wanted
That last night on earth
Was seeing daylight in your eyes.

Life is so short
So hungry in spots
So hard to survive.

We did everything right
And then the lights hit the night
And lit up our eyes.

No matter which way the wind blows
You'll never make it out alone
There's a devil in every window
No one left on the telephone.

Then we landed out on the tide
We can take it or lose it, last chance to move it
Now we're standing on the edge of time
We can take it or lose before it all shuts down.
