[Verse 1]
A candle burns
Oh, at both ends
Your heart is beating
This might be the end
You think of things
But they come too fast
Your mind is full
Of thoughts too fast
[Chorus]
And here, in this room
A candle burns at both ends
Paintings burn, a way to review
The words inscribed, this is the end
[Verse 2]
The TV's flying
Around your room
The newsman weeps
This is the truth
You button your shirt
But there's no place to go
The newsman weeps
This is the end
[Chorus]
And here, in your room
A candle burning at both ends
Your mind is full of thoughts too fast
A candle's burning at both ends
[Bridge]
I'm chipping off the paint with a knife
The clock in the room smiles with despite
I'm looking at photos of eyes from within
Of paintings grinning on the wall
The TV, cordless, it flies through the air
I wipe the sweat from my brow
The clock ticks, it's ticking, tocking on
I move away, the light it burns my eyes
I know it's the end
The candle burns from both ends
Light around the room
The candle burns
Time's ticking away
Chipping paint from the wall
TV's flying to and fro
Time's ticking, tocking on the wall
It ticks away for a fall
Time's ticking away!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
A candle's burning
At both ends
Your heart is beating
This could be the end
You think of things
But they come too fast
Your mind is full
Of thoughts too fast
[Outro]
And here, in this room
A candle's burning at both ends
(This is the end) The paint is melting
(This is the end) The clock is ticking
(This is the end) The light is swinging
(This is the end) The TV moving
This is the end
This is the end (Tick-tock!)
This is the end (The TV frowns and smiles)
This is the end (Tick-tock!)
This is the end
