Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
The Lights Are Going Out
[Verse 1]
There's a painting on the wall
That wasn't there at all
Ten minutes ago
There's a girl who walks the line
She's with you all the time
She won't let go

[Chorus]
And I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world

[Verse 2]
The lights are going out
One by one
Across the world
With faces turning down
The night will hide the sound
She comes to you

[Chorus]
I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world

[Verse 3]
In a harbour safe from storm
She waits for darkened forms
She's seen you there
Time and time again
You hear her call your name
She calls for you
[Chorus]
I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world
As everything slows down across the world

[Verse 4]
The lights are going out
One by one
Across the world
(The lights are going out
One by one)
The lights are going out
One by one
Across the world
