Keep on, keep on, whispering in the night
   There's no problem if it's not in sight
   In the face of annihilation
   We still plan futures for the children
   Keep on whispering in the night
   People talk but it's just "cocktail chatter"
   What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter
  
   Everybody, time is tight
   We're walking on the edge
   Of the long black night
   From the left and from the right
   They're walking on the edge
   Of the long black night
   And waiting on the big bang
  
   Wake up, wake up, yes this is your life too
   The light of spirit also burns in you
   In the face of extermination
   We still plan future for the children
   Get up, yes this is your life too
   We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder
   Nothing that we can do
   Can stop us from going under
  
   Everybody, time is tight
   We're walking on the edge
   Of the long black night
   From the left and from the right
   They're walking on the edge
   Of the long black night
   And waiting on the big bang
  
   I sit here and contemplate my future
   And all the songs that we all sing
   Don't really do a thing
  
   Everybody, time is tight
   We're walking on the edge
   Of the long black night
   From the left and from the right
   They're walking on the edge
   Of the long black night
   And waiting on the big bang
