U2 - Last Night On Earth
from the album "Pop"
from the "Last Night On Earth" single

She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today

You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She don't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth

She's not waiting on a saviour to come
She's at the bus-stop with News of the World
And the Sun Sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone

You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She don't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth

Slipping away...slip slide...
The clock tells her that time is slipping
the world turns and we get dizzy
Minute hands and seconds sticking...
Slipping away
There's somethinggoing on she
might be missing
The world turns and we get dizzy
Is it spinning for you the way it's
spinning for me

She's living, living next week now
You know she's going to pay it back somehow
the future is so predictable
(She hasn't been to bed in a week)
the past is too uncomfotable
(She'll be dead soon then she'll sleep)

You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
