All Stood Still - Ultravox

Written by：Billy Currie IRS/Chris Cross/Midge Ure/Warren Cann

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

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

We're standing still

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

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

We're 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

We're standing still

We stood still

We all stood still

Still stood still

We're standing still
