Urthboy, Mark Pearl - The Clocks lyrics

Yeah 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
Cover-up unnecessary, so no facts shrouded
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'll 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
Don’t wanna contemplate what I might do
If I lose you I’ll find you, I will find you

Stop the clock, I'll walk away
'Cause we've got something untamed
If what's beneath falls through
Then I'll fall, yeah, I’ll fall
But, I’ll fall with you
Stop the clock, I'll walk away
'Cause we've got something untamed
If what's beneath falls through
Then I'll fall, yeah, I’ll fall
But, I’ll fall with you

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
Email 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 'cause 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 god damn world sat
Perched on the fence
All the 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
See, I don’t wanna ponder as
To what I might do
And if I lose you I’ll find you
I will find you

Stop the clock, I'll walk away
'Cause we've got something untamed
If what's beneath falls through
Then I'll fall, yeah, 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
Let's let them sleep come and lay next to me
Before we set them free
I wanna hear your heartbeat yeah

Finally some downtime due to the deadlock
Electricity is cut back down to bedrock
Hordes watch on as we walk by shellshocked
As if five billion waiting on a bellhop
I can whisper the things that I need to
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

Darling, let's let them sleep
Come and lay next to me
Before we set them free
I wanna hear your heartbeat
Let's let them sleep come and lay next to me
Before we set them free
I wanna hear your heartbeat
