Saw the folks down below crying

Heard them on the radio lying

Distant bells in the air

Ringing out do they hear?

Do they know it's growing very near?



Everybody sitting here

They don't realize

They've got no time



Saw the transmitter sway slowly

Saw it crash in the lane coldly

Saw the seas rushing in

To the coast now they've seen

Now they know it's growing very near



Everybody sitting here

They don't realize

They've got no time



Saw them gather in slow motion

Setting sail on the tired ocean

Heard the clouds rolling by

Shouting down from the sky

Hear them speak their last goodbye



Everybody sitting here

They don't realize

They've got no time

No time
