The final countdown It's the final countdown (The final countdown) We're leaving together But still it's farewell And maybe we'll come back To earth, who can tell? I guess there is no one to blame

This is the world that we live in Well maybe I was mistaken Bless your body, bless your soul This is world that we live in I feel myself get tired I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age Pray for peace and self control I gotta believe it's worth

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,

It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely. The night is young, the skies are clear So if you want to go walking, dear, I understand the reason why You're sentimental, 'cause so am I, You can tell at a glance What a swell night this is for romance,

Will you sing us a song And we'll sing it back to you We could sing our own But what would it be without you I am finding out that maybe I was wrong That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone Stay with me This is what I need please I am nothing now

Runaway baby like a runaway train Runaway and never look back Like a train comin' off the tracks Well, I sold my guitar for a diamond ring Yeah the preacher's daughter's got a thing for me With all of our stuff in a pick up truck Yeah we're headed out

Long for the stranger you know so well. Long for the sailor, beneath the skies Long for the white dove, no matter where she flies Pray for the soldier, who's wounded bad Pray for the dreamer, he's still so sad Pray for the stranger you know so well.

Through a dark and desolate valley he walks Pale, flickering fires light the way Along an ice cold river lies his path The sky is of darkest grey A cold wind pierce through his bones And the sharp rocks cut his feet His clothes and skin are ripped by

We're gainin' back our powers, mine after mine Hours after hour, we'll be lost in time Hour after hour, we'll be lost in time We deserve much better The city leaves me dry I feel under the weather You wanna quit then now or never We gonna leave this mess

So deep as the night draws in And we'll be slow honey lovers 'til the clocks go forward again We can hide under sheets, under heavy covers Again, again, again yeah Darkness bleeding in, the sun is getting low No diamonds in the trees, only leaves of gold
