The Clocks

[Verse 1: Urthboy]
Yeah
Aeronautical activity is all grounded
No F16 jets, no alarm sounded
Not even a rumour that a terrorist downed it
Without any hint of controversy around it
No police called, everybody is accounted
Cover-up unnecessary, so no facts shrouded
Traffic grinds to halt leaving streets crowded and
The authorities don't know nothing about it
No little old ladies heard saying "oh my"
People getting later but not looking to know why
It's like suddenly the signs said "Don't Drive"
Shouldn't someone worry the economy'll nosedive?
The young and ambitious stop as life goes by
Cities that never sleep caught with a closed eye
Two year olds get ignored but fail to cry
By the side of their parents as they look up to the sky

[Refrain 1: Urthboy]
And the seas would part and they’d part for you
I’d run anywhere to join you on a path for two and I
Don’t wanna contemplate what I might do
If I lose you I’ll find you, I will find you

[Chorus 1 (Extended): Mark Pearl]
Stop the clock, I'll walk away
'Cause we've got something untamed
If what's beneath falls through
Then I'll fall, yeah, I’ll fall, but I’ll fall with you
Stop the clock, I'll walk away
'Cause we've got something untamed
If what's beneath falls through
Then I'll fall, yeah, I’ll fall, but I’ll fall with you

[Verse 2: Urthboy]
As if it never happened, a computer went dead
We could fix this is what an technician would've said
Everything froze only one thing spared
Email spam's like cockroach eggs
People sat in cinemas where darkness glared
And analysed the blank space like architects
Systems stopped dead not even half a step
Dogs stopped barking not 'cause master said
A father paused reading to his daughter in bed
While a bloke stood around, looking lost in his shed
Doctors watched on as their patients bled
Their patients, unfazed and intrigued by the red
For a second y'all suckers stopped trying to get cred
And the West ceased pumping Islam full of led
Yeah the god damn world sat perched on the fence
All the analysts hadn't figured out what it meant

[Refrain 2: Urthboy]
It’s why the seas part and they part for you
I’d ask that you join me on a path for two
See, I don’t wanna ponder as to what I might do
And if I lose you I’ll find you, I will find you

[Chorus 1: Mark Pearl]
Stop the clock, I'll walk away
'Cause we've got something untamed
If what's beneath falls through
Then I'll fall, yeah, I’ll fall, but I’ll fall with you

[Chorus 2: Mark Pearl]
Darling, let's let them sleep
Come and lay next to me
Before we set them free
I wanna hear your heartbeat
Let's let them sleep
Come and lay next to me
Before we set them free
I wanna hear your heartbeat
Yeah

[Verse 3: Urthboy]
Finally some downtime due to the deadlock
Electricity is cut back down to bedrock
Hordes watch on as we walk by shellshocked
As if five billion waiting on a bellhop
I can whisper the things that I need to
Blanket of silence surrounds when it sweeps through
The world’ll hold on whether or not it agrees to
And it’ll start again but I will never leave you

[Chorus 2: Mark Pearl]
Darling, let's let them sleep
Come and lay next to me
Before we set them free
I wanna hear your heartbeat
Let's let them sleep
Come and lay next to me
Before we set them free
I wanna hear your heartbeat
