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.
