The lights went out |
|
(The last fuse blew) |
|
The clocks all stopped |
|
(It can't be true) |
|
The program's wrong |
|
(What can we do?) |
|
The printout's blocked |
|
(It relied on you) |
|
The turbine cracked up |
|
The buildings froze up |
|
The system choked up |
|
What can we do? |
|
Please remember to mention me |
|
In tapes you leave behind |
|
We stood still |
|
We all stood still |
|
Still stood still |
|
We're standing still |
|
The screen shut down |
|
(There's no reply) |
|
The lifts all fall |
|
(A siren cries) |
|
And the radar fades |
|
(A pilot sighs) |
|
As the countdowns stall |
|
(The readout lies) |
|
The turbines cracked up |
|
The buildings froze up |
|
The system choked up |
|
What can we do? |
|
Please remember to mention me |
|
In tapes you leave behind |
|
We stood still |
|
We all stood still |
|
Still stood still |
|
We're standing still |
|
The black box failed |
|
(The codes got crossed) |
|
And the jails decayed |
|
(The keys got lost) |
|
Everyone kissed |
|
(We breathe exhaust) |
|
In the new arcade |
|
(Of the holocaust) |
|
The turbine cracked up |
|
The buildings froze up |
|
The system choked up |
|
What can we do? |
|
Please remember to mention me |
|
In tapes you might leave behind |
|
We stood still |
|
We all stood still |
|
Still stood still |
|
We're standing still |
|
We stood still |
|
We all stood still |
|
Still stood still |
|
We're standing still |
