When the time comes You're no longer there
Fall down to my knees Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats And do my best to win
Slow down little one You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet It's not your time to play
Standing at the edge of your town With the skylight in your eyes Reaching out to gods The sun says it’s goodbyes
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave In the surface of the earth
Let's pretend we never met Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives Until our covers blown
I push my hand up to the sky Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me Suddenly night time has begun
If a plane were to fall from the sky How big a hole would it leave In the surface of the earth The surface of the earth
Come on now You knew you were lost But you carried on anyway
Oh come on now You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away
Editors, The racing rats
