Looks like the ending has begun So flick your cigarette into the mess Walk right by the homeless guy Careful not to catch his eye If nobody's looking, why confess The ride is fast and it won't last And it's already in the past Squinting at a fluorescent screen Thinking about what's already been While outside the sky is turning brown Worship the idols of Seventeen Children in makeup on magazines When did it all turn upside down The ride is fast and it won't last It's already in the past And the nuclear sun is blazing overhead Turning the sky white and red The ride is fast and it won't last It's already in the past Habits die hard, but it's in our cards At last, at last And the nuclear sun is blazing overhead The ride is fast and it won't last And it's already in the past
