Alphabet Block Lyrics

Quick-fire, I'm on time, you're ahead of schedule
Blue walls, propaganda makes some scare stories
Straight lines, colour-coded, lead the way to a dead-end waiting room

Machine is drab with fluorescent and buzzing lights
This corridor smells so strange in this alphabet block I'm in
Fear and loathing, and wandering
Alphabet block

Holding on, holding on
Everybody's the same when it matters
Holding on, we're holding on
Hold my hand, don't let me go

Run
Run
We don't waste a second, the second we're out of time
You might find
In your alphabet block

Run
Run
We don't waste a second, the second we're out of time
You might find
In your alphabet block

Cigarettes litter ground, mediaeval houses
All the cars, bumper to bumper, not enough space
Break it down and resign to the fact that there are no promises here
In this town, swallow hard, don't ask questions, right?
Just turn around, wait a week, til the alphabet block is gone
Fear and loathing, still wandering
Alphabet block

Holding on, holding on
Everybody's the same when it matters
Holding on, we're holding on
Hold my hand, don't let me go

Run
Run
We don't waste a second, the second we're out of time
You might find
In your alphabet block

Run
Run
We don't waste a second, the second we're out of time
You might find
In your alphabet block

A softly spoken voice gives a choice
But I'm not ready to make a decision
Solitary soul
Solitary soul

'Cause I need you with your own voice
Won't hesitate, won't pay the price
I ask of you
Can we just

Run
Run
We don't waste a second, the second we're out of time
You might find
In your alphabet block

Run
Run
We don't waste a second, the second we're out of time
You might find
In your alphabet block
