The Blink of an Eye
It was all over in the blink of an eye
Thousands of people walking by
A big black bird swooped out of the sky
Nobody knew the reason why, no, they don't
It was all over in a few seconds flat
Blue skies turned grey at the drop of a hat
And pillars of dust blocked out the sun
All that the people could do was run, and they run, and they run
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug, pulled it out, from under our feet
It was all over in an avalanche of pain
And now the world can never be the same
The dreams of so many have gone up in smoke
And the ones who are left don't know how to cope, no, they don't, no, they don't
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug, pulled it out, from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug, pulled it out, from under our feet
No more living on easy street
No more living on easy street
Thousands of people walking by
A big black bird swooped out of the sky
Nobody knew the reason why, no, they don't
It was all over in a few seconds flat
Blue skies turned grey at the drop of a hat
And pillars of dust blocked out the sun
All that the people could do was run, and they run, and they run
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug, pulled it out, from under our feet
It was all over in an avalanche of pain
And now the world can never be the same
The dreams of so many have gone up in smoke
And the ones who are left don't know how to cope, no, they don't, no, they don't
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug, pulled it out, from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet
We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug, pulled it out, from under our feet
No more living on easy street
No more living on easy street
