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 sea rushing into 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
