Heaven 17 - Five Minutes To Midnight
Underneath the bridge
The glowing streets
Light up the heavy sky
Out of nowhere
I return to you
Even as we meet
This curious girl
Fell back to sleep
This time for keeps
But I won't surrrender
Find some way
I think she's going to pay
Chorus 1:
On that day I knew
(Cold heart, flamedown)
It was me and you
(Burn out, flamedown)
Under burning sky
(Look up, flamedown)
You shall carry me
Along the streets
Awake and paralysed
Take the slow lane
We'll enjoy the view
As we move along
The girl will sing
This curious song
And she won't speak
But she will remember
What's ahead
And what is left unsaid
Chorus 2:
Caught up in the heat
(Burn out, flamedown)
Out on judgement street
(Watch out, flamedown)
I see no way out
(Hold out, flamedown)
I can hear you shout
(Move out, flamedown)
Chorus 3:
Hold on don't give in
(Stay out, flamedown)
To the flame within
(Burn out, flamedown)
Want you to agree
(No doubt, flamedown)
When you talk to me
(Shout out, flamedown)
