Lend me a hand,  Won't you sing me a song  I't been quiet for so long  In this hand-me-down town  Of the listless and starved  Sing a song,  Just a song,  To break the silence that hangs like a blackout  Break this silence,  'Cause soon we've got nothing at all to loose  'Cause we're loosing time  The big sleep is catching up on us  'Cause we're loosing time  It'll be the end of it all  Lend me your ear  And I'll tell you a tale  Of the scared and the silent  If you move, if you stir  If you make yourself heard  They will find you in no-time  But what with the forgotten dreams  Like a flickering scar on your eyelids?  While the radio waves tumble by  All silent and grey  'Cause we're loosing time  The big sleep is catching up on us  'Cause we're loosing time  The big sleep is catching up on us  Yeah we're loosing time  It'll be the end of it all  'Cause we're loosing time  The big sleep is catching up on us  Yeah we're loosing time  The big sleep is catching up on us  Yeah we're loosing time  It'll be the end of it all  The end of it all  The end of it all
