Harry
Tom, Tom
And Dougie
Welcome to your mission
[Verse 1: Danny Jones]
I thought I saw something moving
Eyes in the dark
Under a cloud of confusion
They're gonna tear you apart
I heard that girls are from Venus
And that guys are from Mars
But in the end they all leave us
Once they've destroyed your heart
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Fletcher]
Looking in your eyes
I can see forever
I heard somebody say
We're being hypnotized
And if it's true then
[Chorus: Tom Flecher]
I really think this could be
The end of the world (it's the end of the world)
The skies falling down (the end of the world)
So, guys, grab the girls (the end)
And spread the word around
[Verse 2: Danny Jones]
I'd sell my soul to the devil
If I had one to give
The line between good and evil
Is not a safe place to live
I guess that fate drives a needle
She's taking me in, oh
But as the clock reaches zero, oh oh
[Chorus: Tom Flecher]
I really think this could be
The end of the world (it's the end of the world)
The skies falling down (the end of the world)
So, guys, grab the girls (the end)
And spread the word around
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Fletcher]
Looking in your eyes
I can see forever
I heard somebody say
We're being hypnotized
And if it's true then
[Chorus: Tom Flecher]
I really think this could be
The end of the world (it's the end of the world)
The skies falling down (the end of the world)
So, guys, grab the girls (the end)
And spread the word around
Oh, this is the end of the world (it's the end of the world)
The skies falling down (the end of the world)
So, guys, grab the girls (the end)
And spread the word around
