As The World Caves In Lyrics | Matt Maltese

As The World Caves In Lyrics – This is a song by English songwriter-singer Matt Maltese from the album Bad Contestant (2018). As The World Caves In has produced by Hugo White. This song was released on 6th March 2017. An interview with Northern Transmissions Maltese said- “story was that of Theresa May and Donald Trump sharing a night of passion before the coming apocalypse”. Hopefully, it comes across as romantic, sexy, but also sinister and stupid. It goes without saying but everything’s a bit sinister and stupid in 2017. In April of 2020, Maltese shared in a tweet that the song was no longer about Trump and May.

As The World Caves In Lyrics | Matt Maltese | Bad Contestant (2018)

[Verse 1]
My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And we’ve drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The papers say it’s doomsday
The button has been pressed
We’re gonna nuke each other up, boys
‘Til old Satan stands impressed

[Pre-Chorus]
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground

[Chorus]
Oh, girl, it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, it’s you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in

[Verse 2]
You put your finest suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh, we’re going out in style, babe
And everything’s on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say “Goodnight, love”
While my organs pack it in

[Pre-Chorus]
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground

[Chorus]
Oh, girl, it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, it’s you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves—
Oh, it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Yes, it’s you I welcome death with
As the world, as the world caves in

[Outro]
As the world caves in
