Life leaks from your fingertips
Onto sparkling pavement
Having heard the news you stumble, stuttering, confused
Helicopters line the sky
Marching men are rolling by
Babies in their baskets blankly stare through space

Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black, frozen night
I've been blind
But I'm driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping 'til I catch the sunlight
In my eyes

Sirens sing over the streets
Chimpanzees are on TV
Everybody's working, waiting for the week to end

Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black, frozen night
I've been blind
But I'm driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping 'til I catch the sunlight
In my eyes

And nothing's left to hide
Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black, frozen night
I've been blind
I'm running out of time
