You're Acting's Like It's The End Of The World

I feel like a mime losing his job
 But i'm just not sure, i'm just not sure
 It's like i'm facing down the wrath of God
 But I know I aint, I know i'm not
 I've made all kinds of weird plans
 That can't succeed, won't ever be
 And I spend half my time feeling odd
 But what do I know
 I feel like a canary who's living underground
 Singing through the gas
 Still worried about my first big night
 As the curtains fall, the roof collapses
 Your acting's like the end of the world
 And I see rows and rows of fresh ditches
 What are they for? it don't make no sense
 I need a palindrome to keep witches
 And get rolling stoned and drop my defences
 All this doom and gloom has got to me
 It's taken me to lunch
 I'm trying hard not to forget you
 I can't take another punch
 I get nostalgic thinking about you
 Made me laugh until I cried
 You were useful in a crisis
 But it's harder now to lie
 Your acting's like the end of the world
 I ain't here to say i'm sorry
 It wouldn't help you if I did
 Your pain was just too great to bear
 And I was just a kid
 Well it would seem you're on your own now man
 You're sitting at the breakfast table in a shirt
 You've joined the chorus line of all those useless things
 And wandering all the long while if you'll stay inert
 If you'll stay alert
 You should move out to the country man
 And look after your health
 These cities show you to your seat
 And then they make you eat yourself
 Your acting's like the end of the world
 When she left she took much less of me than you
 But what am I meant to do?
 I try most nights to get you out of my mind
 But you're still there silent by my side most the time
 I can't help that I let you down
 It's too long and too late
 And I can't help if I broke your heart
 It's too long and too late
