Collin Kravis - Nothing in the World Lyrics

Pack your luggage now, 'cause the time is nigh
Have you seen the neighbors getting greedy?
If you're throwing in the towel, baby, so am I
'Cause the TV said that it was easy

Don't you look them in the eye when you're feeling pale
How'd you get yourself in so much trouble?
You can flash them all a smile, throw them off your trail
How could anybody be so awful?

You and I are going to run away
I can see the walls are crumbling fast
Worthless and disposable
Everything's compostable
Nothing in the world can last

Student of life, what a lousy alibi
Doesn't solve a single worry
When you slowly drain away at the world like a parasite
Making sure we can't get lonely

There's no need to fight
You can just apologize
Sorry for the fuss, your highness
'Cause we've got a place to hide when the world goes awry
Yeah, your daddy bought his share of diamonds

I can send you with a doctor's note
But I don't think they'll bother to ask
When everything's available
Nothing is sustainable
Nothing in the world can last

Do you fancy something sordid?
Co-habitants, co-morbid
Don't be so unpleasant
All you want in 60 seconds

Don't be afraid of it
Give me just a sign, 'cause I'm wasting time
I've been waiting for the duck and cover
If we all survive the attack in this life
Then I know they'll try again in another

I can shelter you from rising tides
I can feel it when you're feeling trapped
Nothing is so perilous
When you've got preparedness
Nothing in the world can last
I won't open up for God himself
We'll be the ones to start from scratch
I want you sitting close to me
Just like it's supposed to be
Nothing in the world can last
