Sirens (Radio Edit)
Michael takes the tube but he goes nowhere near the blue line
He saw something dark that will never leave his tiny mind
He gets home from work and he acts like it never happened
Relaxing to the sound of sirens on the Kingsland road
He waits and waits to tell his story
To take the burden from his mind
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He's decided that he's gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment's gone an image frozen fixed it can't be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Girl gets home from school and forgets that it ever happened
She's too busy staring at the likes on her Instagram
Answering the door she sees 3 figures standing there
She's frantic and she's flailing and she's pulling out her hair
She's just learnt of something that is far too much for her to bear
She waits and waits to tell her story
To lift the burden over time
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He's decided that he's gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment's gone an image frozen fixed it can't be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
And those events they stay remembered
Bodies dismembered
Victims fallen
Swallowed up by that machine
Those brittle bones crumpled together
Lost forever
A life forsaken
It can't be mistaken that was not a dream
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He's decided that he's gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment's gone an image frozen fixed it can't be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
And we're all gonna live forever
But we're all gonna see it through till the end
And we're all gonna live together
But we'll all have to stand in line in the end
He saw something dark that will never leave his tiny mind
He gets home from work and he acts like it never happened
Relaxing to the sound of sirens on the Kingsland road
He waits and waits to tell his story
To take the burden from his mind
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He's decided that he's gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment's gone an image frozen fixed it can't be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Girl gets home from school and forgets that it ever happened
She's too busy staring at the likes on her Instagram
Answering the door she sees 3 figures standing there
She's frantic and she's flailing and she's pulling out her hair
She's just learnt of something that is far too much for her to bear
She waits and waits to tell her story
To lift the burden over time
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He's decided that he's gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment's gone an image frozen fixed it can't be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
And those events they stay remembered
Bodies dismembered
Victims fallen
Swallowed up by that machine
Those brittle bones crumpled together
Lost forever
A life forsaken
It can't be mistaken that was not a dream
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He's decided that he's gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment's gone an image frozen fixed it can't be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
And we're all gonna live forever
But we're all gonna see it through till the end
And we're all gonna live together
But we'll all have to stand in line in the end
