Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are a British New Wave group formed in 1978, whose founding members, Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals), are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, England.

There's a painting on the wall
That wasn't there at all
Ten minutes ago
There's a girl who walks the line
She's with you all the time
She won't let go
And I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world
The lights are going out
One by one

With faces turning down

As everything slows down across the world
In a harbor safe from storm
She waits for darkened forms
She's seen you there
And time and time again
You hear her call your name
She calls for you
And I can't see me with another girl
As everything slows down across the world
The lights are going out
One by one
Across the world
The lights are going out
One by one
Across the world...
