Love At the End of the World

This is love at the end of the world

You don't need diamonds and you don't need pearls

Water boils on the seven seas

Rivers of blood and she's setting me free

And you're still near me, babySmoke rising from an open field

Don't you know that the threat is real

From the top of Mount Kilimanjaro?

You look around but you don't see snow

The heat is rising, babyThis is love at the end of the world

There's still love at the end of the worldTwo wars and a revolution

Got me praying for absolution

There's blood on these hands, baby

Preacher saying that the end is nigh

Standing on a soapbox a hundred feet high

You're still by my side, babyLight fades, becomes shade

You're holding on but you're slipping away

Till I can't feel you anymoreThis is love at the end of the world

There's still love at the end of the worldRed lips, alabaster hands

Ooh girl, what you do to a man

The heat is rising, baby

You don't think, you just follow the herd

And you don't need bullets for a war of words now

They want what we've got, babyLight fades, becomes shade

You're holding on but you're slipping away

Till I can't feel you anymoreThis is love at the end of the world

There's still love at the end of the world

This is love at the end of the world

There's still love at the end of the world
