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.
|
|
Chorus :
|
|
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.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
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?
|
|
Plese remember to mention me,
|
In tapes you might leave behind.
|
|
(Chorus - Repeat 2 times).
