(The Devil is Beating His Wife)

Some say that the world will end in fire
Some say Ice
Some say Love is just Desire
All covered up with Nice
The flames of Love can burn your skin, but you could drown in an icy stream
The Damage from a Love gone Wrong, can Leave you Cold and Mean

Some say the World will end in Fire
Some say Ice
Some say that Love is just Desire
All covered up with Nice
But when your Love has left you
Like the Fall Leaves leave the Tree
It’s Hard to know the Difference
‘Tween being Dead and being Free

I walk out in the snow field. A Bitter Wind is in my Eyes
This Winter sounds as Hollow as your cold dead Loveless Lies
Some say that Love is just Desire
All covered up with Nice
Some say the World will end in Fire
But I say Ice
Some say the World will end in Fire,
But I say Ice
