Grinding Halt Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
No light, no people
No speak, no people
No cars, no people
No food, no people
[Chorus]
Stopped short, grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
[Verse 2]
No sound, no people
No clocks, no people
No fine, no people
No me, no people
[Chorus]
Stopped short, grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
[Verse 3]
Slow down
Slow down
No people
Slow down
[Outro]
Everything's coming to a
Everything's coming to a
Everything's coming to a
Everything's coming to a
