1
[Verse 1]
2
Aeronautical activity is all grounded
3
No F16 jets no alarm sounded
4
Not even a rumour that a terrorist downed it
5
Without any hint of controversy around it
6
No police called everybody is accounted
7
Coverup unnecessary so no facts shrouded and,
8
Traffic grinds to halt leaving streets crowded and
9
the authorities don't know nothing about it
10
No little old ladies heard saying "oh my!"
11
People getting later but not looking to know why
12
It's like suddenly the signs said 'Don't Drive'
13
Shouldn't someone worry the economy will nosedive?
14
The young and ambitious stop as life goes by
15
Cities that never sleep caught with a closed eye
16
Two year olds get ignored but fail to cry
17
By the side of their parents as they look up to the sky
18
And the seas would part and they'd part for you
19
I'd run anywhere to join you on a path for two and I
20
I don't wanna contemplate what I might do
21
And if I lose you I'll find you, I will find you
22
[Chorus: Mark Pearl - 2X]
23
Stop the clocks I'll walk away
24
Cos we've got something untamed
25
If what's beneath falls through
26
Then I'll fall, but I'll fall with you
27
[Verse 2]
28
As if it never happened a computer went dead
29
We could fix this is what an technician would've said.
30
Everything froze only one thing spared
31
e-mail spam's like cockroach eggs
32
People sat in cinemas where darkness glared
33
And analysed the blank space like architects
34
Systems stopped dead not even half a step
35
Dogs stopped barking not cos master said
36
A father paused reading to his daughter in bed
37
While a bloke stood around looking lost in his shed
38
doctors watched on as their patients bled
39
Their patients unfazed and intrigued by the red
40
For a second y'all suckers stopped trying to get cred
41
and the West ceased pumping Islam full of led
42
Yeah the Goddamn world sat perched on the fence
43
Even analysts hadn't figured out what it meant
44
It's why the seas part and they part for you
45
I'd ask that you join me on a path for two
46
I don't wanna ponder as to what I might do
47
And if I lose you I'll find you, I will find you
48
[Chorus: Mark Pearl]
49
Stop the clocks I'll walk away
50
Cos we've got something untamed
51
If what's beneath falls through
52
Then I'll fall, but I'll fall with you
53
Darling let's let them sleep
54
Come and lay next to me
55
Before we set them free
56
I wanna hear your heartbeat
57
{*2X*}
58
[Verse 3]
59
Finally some downtime due to the deadlock
60
Electricity is cut back down to the bedrock
61
Hordes watch on as we walk by shellshocked
62
As if five billion waiting on a bellhop
63
We can whisper the things that we need to
64
a blanket of silence surrounds when it sweeps through
65
The world'll hold on whether or not it agrees to
66
and it'll start again but I will never leave you
67
[Chorus: Mark Pearl - 2X]
68
Darling let's let them sleep
69
Come and lay next to me
70
Before we set them free
71
I wanna hear your heartbeat
