Before They Crash The Universe - Steve Harley, Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice

They came to my town

They came with attitudes on fire

They put their arms down

This was the gun for hire

Lost in this moment

Lost in this unfamiliar place

I counted no men

I couldn’t find a face

This is the time, this is the day

We switch off the dead night

This is the time, this is the day

We switch on the white light

Before they crash the universe

Hung-up and dried out

Left in this elemental state

Shook up and cried out

This is an awful fate

And in that moment

There in that hard, torrential rain

We cried for no man

Inspired to live again

This is the time, this is the day

We switch off the dead night

This is the time, this is the day

We switch on the white light

Before they crash the universe

They came to this town

They came to tax our dreams away

And on the way down

We pushed their jab away

We held this moment

Suspended in this perfect state

We cried for no man

We carved in stone the date

This is the time, this is the day

We switch off the dead night

This is the time, this is the day

We switch on the white light

Before they crash the universe, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh
