Watch the World Cave In Lyrics
The world's caving in, I got tickets for two
They're not the best seats and they're not the best view
Take my hand, you can squeeze on my arm
Wake from your slumber, baby, it's gonna start
It was worth the price of admission
The two of us watch the world cave in
The world's caving in like the prophecy calls
Barter redemption for diamonds and pearls
The rich got the camel through the eye of a needle
The deed in itself was inherently evil
When all's been said and written
The two of us watch the world cave in
The world's caving in, they're releasing the souls
Trapped in the earth where we can't hear their calls
Unbelievable torture, you wouldn't believe
This is their passion, their chance to be free
But they're beaten into submission
Free at last, watch the world cave in
When all's been said and written
The two of us watch the world cave in
They're not the best seats and they're not the best view
Take my hand, you can squeeze on my arm
Wake from your slumber, baby, it's gonna start
It was worth the price of admission
The two of us watch the world cave in
The world's caving in like the prophecy calls
Barter redemption for diamonds and pearls
The rich got the camel through the eye of a needle
The deed in itself was inherently evil
When all's been said and written
The two of us watch the world cave in
The world's caving in, they're releasing the souls
Trapped in the earth where we can't hear their calls
Unbelievable torture, you wouldn't believe
This is their passion, their chance to be free
But they're beaten into submission
Free at last, watch the world cave in
When all's been said and written
The two of us watch the world cave in

awesome song to listen to with a girl
this song means a nice summer night with the top down and just driving no place and in no hurry. try it .. you'll be amazed
this is really an awesome song.
Matt Pryor described it as "a love song about the end of the world" when I saw him a couple of weeks ago here in Seattle.
matt pryor is amazing. this song has to be one of the best he has ever written, its so pretty.
This song reminds me of the last scene in Fight Club.
the new amsterdams generally have great lyrics, but the words in this song are incredible even by those standards (particularly the second verse..."the rich got the camel through the eye of the needle / the deed in itself was inherently evil" is just brilliantly sad).
