Yes, We Can't

It's falling apart

That's not so hard to see

Once a bond and a trust are severed

They're hard to retrieve

Minus 777 gleams

On a giant screen

Tonight I'll hide beneath the covers

In my Manhattan retreat

So wake up, wake up and smell defeat

'Cause this is the end and we know it

It's time to be alone

'Cause this is the end

Now they're raising their glasses

So here's to staying blind

'Cause tonight we're gonna party like it's 1929

And read every sign

Put them on the list

If I leapt from the Brooklyn Bridge tonight

I bet I wouldn't be missed

So wake up, wake up and recognize

The end of the world, we knew it

It's time to be alone

'Cause this is the end

The candle burns to the end

As we stumble 'tween the bars

And I just sigh and think about

How it's been years since I've seen the stars

When they go

Oh I never thought that it would come to this

I've read every page of The Economist

Even the trophy wife can tell I'm a mess

But she said anything but loveless
