I'm lying on the top sheet Of this itchy hospital bed As the world spins on, without me They're all saying that I'm gonna be fine But there's a nervous twitch in their eye Like the whole worlds watching As they read my final rights In this white death box, hotel memoriam To what it costs to fight the inevitable As the world spins on outside that waiting room door You're laying on the front lawn Wishing you could see the stars But the world is an oyster slowly closing You always talk about leaving town But you don't know anywhere else And no one around you knows the way out Of this sand trap town that you've been living in Upside down from my horizon line The world is an oyster and you're the pearl inside In the glow of the city lights I see my demons running wild Just shadows dancing on the walls Like the world has an ending You all say that you'll never grow old Now your laugh lines are starting to show And no one around you knows the way out Of this deadbeat bar you think you belong in But you're wrong and everyone knows it The world's always ending, it's what you make of it The world's always ending
