(Springfield)

Keep on, keep on, whispering in the night

There's no problem if it's not in sight

In the face of annihilation

We still plan futures for the children

Keep on whispering in the night

People talk but it's just "cocktail chatter"

What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter



Everybody, time is tight

We're walking on the edge

Of the long black night

From the left and from the right

They're walking on the edge

Of the long black night

And waiting on the big bang



Wake up, wake up, yes this is your life too

The light of spirit also burns in you

In the face of extermination

We still plan future for the children

Get up, yes this is your life too

We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder

Nothing that we can do

Can stop us from going under



Everybody, time is tight

We're walking on the edge

Of the long black night

From the left and from the right

They're walking on the edge

Of the long black night

And waiting on the big bang



I sit here and contemplate my future

And all the songs that we all sing

Don't really do a thing



Everybody, time is tight

We're walking on the edge

Of the long black night

From the left and from the right

They're walking on the edge

Of the long black night

And waiting on the big bang
