Long Gone West - News at 9

The news said it's time
The world with widened eyes
Just stared for hours
Like a broken dream
As the breaking happened

And the beasts rushed into the streets
Can you look away?
Do you look for hours?
Till the morning comes?
As the breaking happens

Set the dial for the breaking news
Watch the bankers all burning
Zoom in tight on the scene
As the breaking comes

All the wasted life
All the wasted hours
Building up this dump
Just to watch it crumble
On the news at nine

When the race runs out
And the stock market falls
How the looters love their larceny
And the heralds sound
So cue the lights
It's almost time
The news at nine
Beams out one last time

As the sky splits apart
And the worst find their intensity
And the heralds sound
So cue the lights

All the books that we won't be burning
All the things that we won't be learning
Out of time but we won't stop fighting
Oh god, so long and say goodbye
All the signs say there's no returning
Oh god, stop the world outside it's turning round and round
Oh god, don't desert us now
All the books that we won't be burning
All the things that we won't be learning
Out of time but we won't stop fighting
Oh god, so long and say goodbye
So cue the lights
All the signs say there's no returning
It's almost time
Oh god, stop the world outside it's
So cue the lights
Turning round and round
It's almost time
Oh god, show me
