Clash The Stop The World Lyrics

Stop The World Lyrics

The panorama of the city is wrong

 In fact the city seems to be gone!

 Burning rubber and smoke in my eyes

 There's a flat burning junkheap

 For twenty square miles!

 They took it into the nuclear mine

 Judging by this, they left nothing behind

 Down in the bunkers in the crust of the earth

 Now crouch the wealthy and the noble of birth

 

 If i could a ride a train around the city

 That holds this as our fate

 I'd hide from electro-circuit central

 To the shock inducer gate

 Not forgetting the by-pass

 Across the washington hooks

 Through the phones and desks and screens

 Of the kremlin's crook of crooks

 

 There's some panel in a circuit board

 Destination of the override

 Scanning the wild wind

 Blowing through the berlin corridor

 Spotlit in a palace, shielded from dust

 Malfunction or not, the failsafe is the crux

 So far away from us,

 Shaking with the mystery tears

 One lonely night in ladbroke grove

 Far away in the deserts of omaha!

 They got it nailed down-swiss tight!

 The bank notes of europe

 The emperors and kings

 Curl in the autumn as the burning of leaves

 And i've cleaned my black guitar...
