I read all about it in the True Confession Sorry, I was late for the recording session But somebody put me on hold Did anybody see them linoleum floors Petroleum jelly and two world wars? They went around in revolving doors All over this world All over this world All over this world The twentieth century is almost over Almost over, almost over The twentieth century is almost over All over this world Ol' father time is a-rumblin' and a-rappin' Standin' at the window, thumpin' and a-tappin' Everybody's waitin' for somethin' to happen I hope it don't happen to you You know, the judgement day is gettin' nearer There it is, in the rear-view mirror If you duck down, I could see a little clearer All over this world All over this world All over this world The twentieth century is almost over Almost over, almost over The twentieth century is almost over All over this world All over this world All over this world The twentieth century is almost over Almost over, almost over The twentieth century is almost over All over this world, yeah All over this world All over this world The twentieth century is almost over Almost over, almost over The twentieth century is almost over All over this world
