Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Speed Of Light lyrics

The speed of light slows down

As the feather hits the ground

And nothing else gets through

It's always faster than it sounds.

The star that shone so bright

Will be eclipsed tonight

When you kiss the satelite.

'Cause there was someplace you

And you alone, believed that a life

Could be this way

It don't seem right

To spend tonight as you did today.

[chorus]:

If I had known that you would call

If I could dream that you would fall

If I could change these thoughts around

I would have stayed at home tonight.

There's nothing that you can do

To make this all brand-new

Nothing here to save

To make it go away.

You've never been so wrong.

So how can you ignore

When a fall from grace so high

Should never take so long

And say goodbye,

As you did today.

So the speed of light remains

Ever-constantly the same

Begin tonight as it did today.
