The man on the evening news Said the world's gonna end here soon So you lay out your Sunday dress I wear my tie and vest We'll leave here looking fine Make a toast with our favorite wine When the lights go out we'll burn the candle I gave you for Christmas The streets are empty now This city's a ghost town Everybody's with who they love And we're alone here in your room We talk about how we met Share one last cigarette Then I play your favorite love songs You dance and sing along We laugh until we cry Saying we're too young to die And we make love while the sirens Announce the final hour The streets are empty now This city's a ghost town Everybody's with who they love And we're alone here in your room I held you through the night We never closed our eyes The sun came up again And this old world still spins Here in this ghost town Here in this ghost town Here in this ghost town We're still alone up in your room The man on the evening news Said the world's gonna end here soon
