If the Hollywood sign catches on fire baby,
If the Hudson river drowns the Liberty Lady,
If the London Bridge finally did fall,
If they take every stone off the Great China Wall
If the countdown to the end had just begun
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 thing I’d wanna tell you before we’re done
Thank you for being so beautiful
For making business as usual
So beautiful
Farewell New York City, farewell Bethlehem
So long Willy Shakespeare, so long Mary Ann
Forget the trip to Venus, forget the Internet
Forget baby Jesus, forget all of it
If the countdown to the end had just begun
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 thing I’d wanna tell you before we’re done
Thank you for being so beautiful
For making business as usual
So beautiful
I love you, I love you – these are not just words
I love you, I love you – it’s borderline absurd
And I already know how I want the end to go
I wanna close the show like Juliet and Romeo
I wanna dim the light and watch this whole thing explode
Oh beautiful
Thank you for being so beautiful
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you, I love you,
If the Hollywood sign catches on fire baby,
If the Hudson river drowns the Liberty Lady,
I love you, I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you, I love you
