All Stood Still

Artist：ultravox
Songs Title：all stood still

The lights went out
（the last fuse blew）
The clocks all stopped
（it cant be true）
The programs wrong
（what can we do?）
The printouts 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

We stood still

We all stood still

Still stood still

Were standing still

The screen shut down
（theres 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

We stood still
We all stood still

Still stood still
Were standing still
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

We stood still

We all stood still

Still stood still

Were standing still

We stood still

We all stood still

Still stood still

Were standing still
