Welcome To The Matinee Show (Of The End Of The World)
I play my part
And you play yours
This is no act of vaudeville
It's absolute in all its cause
The doom and gloom
The rack and ruin
It'll make for a fine tragedy
The worlds a stage
The spotlight burns
On the latest catastrophe
Welcome to the matinee show
Of the end of the world
Take a seat and watch the demise
Same time tomorrow for the reprise
Welcome to the end of the world
For the fifth time this week
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Sorrow is a cash grab
Especially when sincere tears fall
The cracks of existence are central to the plot, now
War and peace has a new casting call
The doom and gloom
The rack and ruin
It'll make for a fine tragedy
The worlds a stage
The spotlight burns
On the latest catastrophe
Welcome to the matinee show
Of the end of the world
Take a seat and watch the demise
Same time tomorrow for the reprise
Welcome to the end of the world
For the tenth time this week
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Welcome to the latest edition of
This month's hysteria
Welcome to the latest edition of
This month's hysteria
Welcome to the latest edition of
This month's hysteria
Welcome to the latest edition of
This month's hysteria
We are sold assurance
That comes without guarantee
Our sentiment gets stolen
To be thrown from the balcony
So take a bow
Is there anyone there to applaud
This is our curtain call
Welcome to the matinee show
Of the end of the world
Take a seat and watch the demise
Same time tomorrow for the reprise
Welcome to the end of the world
And you play yours
This is no act of vaudeville
It's absolute in all its cause
The doom and gloom
The rack and ruin
It'll make for a fine tragedy
The worlds a stage
The spotlight burns
On the latest catastrophe
Welcome to the matinee show
Of the end of the world
Take a seat and watch the demise
Same time tomorrow for the reprise
Welcome to the end of the world
For the fifth time this week
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Sorrow is a cash grab
Especially when sincere tears fall
The cracks of existence are central to the plot, now
War and peace has a new casting call
The doom and gloom
The rack and ruin
It'll make for a fine tragedy
The worlds a stage
The spotlight burns
On the latest catastrophe
Welcome to the matinee show
Of the end of the world
Take a seat and watch the demise
Same time tomorrow for the reprise
Welcome to the end of the world
For the tenth time this week
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Welcome to the latest edition of
This month's hysteria
Welcome to the latest edition of
This month's hysteria
Welcome to the latest edition of

Of the end of the world
Take a seat and watch the demise
Same time tomorrow for the reprise
Welcome to the end of the world
