Oh, the night was ending He needed her undressed He said he loved her She tried to look impressed After the break up It's just something you do To stop the night time From falling down on you The world is ending The sky is falling down She's at the station Because she's leaving town Oh, you could stop her If you get out of bed She wants to see you At least that's what she said You've got a minute At the very most And she'll be gone Gone, gone, gone, gone Oh yeah, she's going away Oh yeah, she's going away Oh yeah, she's going away Oh yeah, she's going away And now it's over 'Cause I just saw the end I saw the credits I turned around and then I saw her running Coming back to me The sky exploded Oh, but I couldn't see The world is ending The sky is falling down She's at the station Because she's leaving town Oh, you could stop her If you get out of bed She wants to see you At least that's what she said You've got a minute At the very most And she's gone And she's gone and she's gone Oh yeah, she's going away
