License This Song 

• My feet are aching
  And your back is pretty tired
  And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
  And set our grief aside
  The papers say it's doomsday
  The button has been pressed
  We're gonna nuke each other up, boys
  'Til old Satan stands impressed
  
  And here it is, our final night alive
  And as the earth burns to the ground
  
  Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with
  As the atom bomb locks in
  Oh, it's you I watch TV with
  As the world, as the world caves in
  
  You put your final suit on
  I paint my fingernails
  Oh, we're going out in style, babe
  And everything's on sale
  We creep up on extinction
  I pull your arms right in
  I weep and say, "Goodnight, love"
  While my organs pack it in
  
  And here it is, our final night alive
  And as the earth burns to the ground
  
  Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with
  As the atom bomb locks in
  Oh, it's you I watch TV with
  As the world, as the world caves
  
  Oh, it's you that I lie with
  As the atom bomb locks in
  Yes, it's you I welcome death with
  As the world, as the world caves in
