THE DAY THE WORLD DIED

on the tv screen there are some news
they talk about the new war
i'm lying here in my bed
close to me that wonderful girl

well you can't relax with a gun in your hand
and the number of your girls written in your head
cold emptiness in the dangerzone
nobody's with you
you're all alone

somewhere in the world
there's a soldier lying up front
he's waiting for the foe
and he's waitin' with a bomb

the soviets are our new friends
and the people in iraq, they get the bombs now
what about the jews at the gaza strip
is it okay to let them kill

AND I SIT HERE IN MY ROOM
I SING MY SONG THIS SONG'S JUST FOR YOU
A COMPLIMENT FOR YOU MY FRIEND
YOU'RE SO PRETTY YOU'RE SO FINE
OUTSIDE THE WORLD'S DYING TONITE

fireballs over the city
my girl and me we're feeling fine
the situation strange but pretty
it's just a question of time

junglefever in the suburbs
smalltown rambos ready to rumble
the war so close to my door
i don't know what are they fighting for

AND I SIT HERE IN MY ROOM
I SING MY SONG THIS SONG'S JUST FOR YOU
A COMPLIMENT FOR YOU MY FRIEND
YOU'RE SO PRETTY YOU'RE SO FINE
OUTSIDE THE WORLD'S DYING TONITE

outside the world's dying tonite
outside the world's dying tonite
tonite is not the time for bad news
tonite i'm right here with you
and when you hold me tight
i feel that it's alright
