  • She feels the earth is giving way
    But she thinks we're better off that way
    The more you take the less you feel
    The less you know the more you believe
    The more you have the more it takes today
    You gotta give it away
    You gotta give it away
    You gotta give it away
    She doesn't care what it's worth
    She's living like it's the last night on earth
    The last night on earth

    She's not waiting on a savior to come
    She's at a bus stop with the News of the World
    And the
    Sun
    Sun here it comes
    She's not waiting for anyone

    You gotta give it away
    You gotta give it away
    You gotta give it away
    She knows just what it's worth
    She's living like it's the last night on earth
    The last night on earth

    Slipping away
    Slip slide
    The world turns and we get dizzy
    Slipping away

    She's living next week now
    You know she's going to pay you back somehow
    The future is so predictable
    The past is too uncomfortable

    You gotta give it away
    You gotta give it away
    You gotta give it away
    She already knows it hurts
    She's living like it's the last night on earth
    The last night on earth
    Last night on earth
