Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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) [Bridge] The turbine cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do? [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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) [Bridge] The turbines cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do? [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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) [Bridge] The turbine cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do? [Pre-Chorus] Please remember to mention me In tapes you might leave behind [Chorus] 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
