The Racing Rats lyrics

Artist  : Editors 
Song : The Racing Rats



 Send "The Racing Rats" Ringtone to your Cell 

 When the time comes

But you're no longer there

Fall down to my knees

Begin my nightmare



Words spill from my drunken mouth

I just can't keep them all in

I keep up with the racing rats

And do my best to win



Slow down little one

You can't keep running away

You mustn't go outside yet

It's not your time to play



Standing at the edge of your town

With the skylight in your eyes

Reaching out to gods

The sun says its goodbyes



If a plane were to fall from the sky

How big a hole would it leave

In the surface of the earth?



Let's pretend we never met

Let's pretend we're on our own

We'll live different lives

Until our cover's blown



I push my hands up to the sky

Shade my eyes from the sun

As the dust settles around me

Suddenly night time has begun



If a plane were to fall from the sky

How big a hole would it leave

In the surface of the earth

The surface of the earth?



Come on, now, you knew you were lost

But you carried on anyway

Oh, come on, now, you knew you had no time

But you let the day drift away



If a plane were to fall from the sky

How big a hole would it leave?



And if a plane were to fall from the sky

How big a hole would it make

In the surface of the earth

The surface of the earth

The surface of the earth?
