I first met you hanging knickers on the line From that moment on I knew That there could only be one outcome Me and you against the world forever You have no folks and I'm just a joke But we made a vow that we would never sell each other out A lie detector wouldn't make me doubt you Now we know that it's us versus the world now Me and you against the world now Look up there in the sky now See the stars well they're shining just for us Hey now me and you against the world now Look up there in the sky now See the stars well they're shining just for us We hitched a ride that would turn out suicide I had my .45 replica gun I didn't think we'd ever need it Didn't know he had a real one loaded You went in first took the worst Couldn't hear me shouting you to stop Above the busy traffic passing by We promised that together we would die Now we know that it's us versus the world now Me and you against the world now Look up there in the sky now See the stars well they're shining just for us Hey now me and you against the world now Look up there in the sky now See the stars well they're shining just for us I went in next took a bullet in the chest? So I hit him with the only thing that was anywhere near me? A tin of baked beans and a Womans Weekly I got the cash picked you up and made a dash we didn't make it Too far we made it to the parking lot 40 cops in front of us? Guess who got shot Lying there dying in each others arms oh you said to me Don't worry about a thing my little sweetheart We're together we shall never be apart You took a chance on a loser like me But you never let me down And whether we were in heaven or hell I know it's better than separate cells Now we know it's us versus the world now Me and you against the world now Look up there in the sky now See the stars well they're shining just for us Hey now me and you against the world now Look up there in the sky now See the stars Well they're shining just for us
