You're Acting's Like It's The End Of The World

I feel like a mime losing his job

But i'm just not sure, i'm just not sure

It's like i'm facing down the wrath of God

But I know I aint, I know i'm not

I've made all kinds of weird plans

That can't succeed, won't ever be

And I spend half my time feeling odd

But what do I know

I feel like a canary who's living underground

Singing through the gas

Still worried about my first big night

As the curtains fall, the roof collapses

Your acting's like the end of the world

And I see rows and rows of fresh ditches

What are they for? it don't make no sense

I need a palindrome to keep witches

And get rolling stoned and drop my defences

All this doom and gloom has got to me

It's taken me to lunch

I'm trying hard not to forget you

I can't take another punch

I get nostalgic thinking about you

Made me laugh until I cried

You were useful in a crisis

But it's harder now to lie

Your acting's like the end of the world

I ain't here to say i'm sorry

It wouldn't help you if I did

Your pain was just too great to bear

And I was just a kid

Well it would seem you're on your own now man

You're sitting at the breakfast table in a shirt

You've joined the chorus line of all those useless things

And wandering all the long while if you'll stay inert

If you'll stay alert

You should move out to the country man

And look after your health

These cities show you to your seat

And then they make you eat yourself

Your acting's like the end of the world

When she left she took much less of me than you

But what am I meant to do?

I try most nights to get you out of my mind

But you're still there silent by my side most the time

I can't help that I let you down

It's too long and too late

And I can't help if I broke your heart
