Cut the ropes, cut the ropes, cut this empty road Unplug this factory town I'll take my compass down
Departure boards, double doors, humming exit signs The tracks and railway lines, God, I miss your style
Get up, get out It's no good now Light that lighthouse light Through telescopic sight, I'm sailing home tonight
Are we going to make this last? I think I spoiled it all last night, and for what!
We float like spectres on the corner of the street 'Til we find our way back home Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!
Cut the ropes, cut the ropes, cut this empty pulse Replace it's hollow sound I'll take my compass down Get up, get out It's no good now. You are out of sight, I want you here tonight.
Are we going to make this last I think I blew it, there's a surprise
We float like spectres on the corner of the street 'Til we find our way back home Do you remember the lives we stole from songs? Emergency
We float like spectres on the corner of the street We lost our way back home Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!
I know, I know. I know, I know I know, I know. I know, I know I know, I know. I know, I know
We float like spectres on the corner of the street 'Til we find our way back home Do you remember the lives we stole from songs? Emergency
We float like spectres on the corner of the street We lost our way back home Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!
