[Verse 1]
|
Aeronautical activity is all grounded
|
No F16 jets no alarm sounded
|
Not even a rumour that a terrorist downed it
|
Without any hint of controversy around it
|
No police called everybody is accounted
|
Coverup unnecessary so no facts shrouded and,
|
Traffic grinds to halt leaving streets crowded and
|
the authorities don't know nothing about it
|
No little old ladies heard saying "oh my!"
|
People getting later but not looking to know why
|
It's like suddenly the signs said 'Don't Drive'
|
Shouldn't someone worry the economy will nosedive?
|
The young and ambitious stop as life goes by
|
Cities that never sleep caught with a closed eye
|
Two year olds get ignored but fail to cry
|
By the side of their parents as they look up to the sky
|
And the seas would part and they'd part for you
|
I'd run anywhere to join you on a path for two and I
|
I don't wanna contemplate what I might do
|
And if I lose you I'll find you, I will find you
|
|
[Chorus: Mark Pearl - 2X]
|
Stop the clocks I'll walk away
|
Cos we've got something untamed
|
If what's beneath falls through
|
Then I'll fall, but I'll fall with you
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
As if it never happened a computer went dead
|
We could fix this is what an technician would've said.
|
Everything froze only one thing spared
|
e-mail spam's like cockroach eggs
|
People sat in cinemas where darkness glared
|
And analysed the blank space like architects
|
Systems stopped dead not even half a step
|
Dogs stopped barking not cos master said
|
A father paused reading to his daughter in bed
|
While a bloke stood around looking lost in his shed
|
doctors watched on as their patients bled
|
Their patients unfazed and intrigued by the red
|
For a second y'all suckers stopped trying to get cred
|
and the West ceased pumping Islam full of led
|
Yeah the Goddamn world sat perched on the fence
|
Even analysts hadn't figured out what it meant
|
It's why the seas part and they part for you
|
I'd ask that you join me on a path for two
|
I don't wanna ponder as to what I might do
|
And if I lose you I'll find you, I will find you
|
|
[Chorus: Mark Pearl]
|
Stop the clocks I'll walk away
|
Cos we've got something untamed
|
If what's beneath falls through
|
Then I'll fall, but I'll fall with you
|
|
Darling let's let them sleep
|
Come and lay next to me
|
Before we set them free
|
I wanna hear your heartbeat
|
{*2X*}
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Finally some downtime due to the deadlock
|
Electricity is cut back down to the bedrock
|
Hordes watch on as we walk by shellshocked
|
As if five billion waiting on a bellhop
|
We can whisper the things that we need to
|
a blanket of silence surrounds when it sweeps through
|
The world'll hold on whether or not it agrees to
|
and it'll start again but I will never leave you
|
|
[Chorus: Mark Pearl - 2X]
|
Darling let's let them sleep
|
Come and lay next to me
|
Before we set them free
|
I wanna hear your heartbeat
|
