All Stood Still Ultravox

[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)
