A Ransom A world away from me. A world away. A word. A ransom. A world away from me. A world away. A word. A ransom. On the day that you were born All the birds flew from the corn And the sky grew grey. On the night you left home A crack appeared in the dome And it rained all day This is what you will wear to the end of the world. This is what you will wear to the end of the world. A world away from me. A world away. A word. A ransom. A world away from me. A world away. A word. A ransom. On the day that you were wed Your bride cried in the bed While you danced downstairs When the end finally came You forgot the author's name But you said your prayers This is what you will wear to the end of the world. This is what you will wear to the end of the world.
