FROM EVERYWHERE
AND NOW TO HERE
THE SOUND OF BELLS
AS EVENIN' EDGES NEAR
VACANT EYES STARE OUT TO SEA
A HUNGRY WORLD
IS STARIN' BACK FOR FREE
STANDIN' HERE
WE MAKE NO SOUND
BELIEVIN' LOVE
CAN STILL BE FOUND
DESPERATE WE SEARCH FOR
COMMON GROUND
PHOENICIAN SHIPS
SAIL OUT TO SEA
FILLED WITH TIME
AND ANCIENT HISTORY
WHILE OTHER SHIPS
SAIL OUT TO SPACE
TO SEARCH FOR TIME
OR WIN SOME ENDLESS RACE
BUT ICARUS, BEWARE THE SUN
YOUR YOUTHFUL FEATHERS
COME UNDONE
WE WATCH THEM FALL
WE COUNT THEM ONE BY ONE
NO BAREFOOT TRIBES
TO WALK THE LAND
CIVILISED
WE BLEED THEM INTO SAND
YEAH-HEH
THEN THE TALLEST POPPIES
FALL FROM GRACE
HOLLOW MEN TAKE POWER
AND TAKE THEIR PLACE
EH
THE ATOM SPLITS
BLACK HOLES ARE BORN
INTO THIS CHAOS
SCIENCE WARNS
TRUTH IS WRITTEN DOWN
ON SHIFTIN' SANDS
BASICALLY WHITE
OH, NO, NOW
YEAH-HEH
YEAH...
WOAH...
WOAH, TELL 'EM NOW
YEAH-HEH
YEAH-HEH
OKAY
URGENTLY
WE SEARCH FOR CLUES
EVERY MORNIN'
READ THE DAILY NEWS
THE SAME OLD BLUES
HOLLOW WORDS
THAT RING AND RING
IN NEW YORK CITY
HEAR THE SIRENS SING
YEAH, COME ON AND SING
THE MUSHROOM CLOUDS
HANG OVERHEAD
WE'LL TUCK
OUR CHILDREN INTO BED
SAYIN' THIS IS WHAT
WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITIN' FOR
AND BILLOWED SAILS
AND BLOOD RED SUN
FLAGS ARE RAISED
TO TEAR APART EACH ONE
YEAH
WHILE NATIONS BATTLE
RISE AND FALL
LOVE WALKS LONELY
BY THE BERLIN WALL
YEAH
CARELESSLY WE MAKE NO SOUND
AND HOPE THAT LOVE
CAN STILL BE FOUND
WHILE PLANET EARTH
IS BUILT ON COMMON GROUND
YEAH, LOVE WANTS TO BE FOUND
PLANET EARTH
IS BUILT ON COMMON GROUND
