lyrics

BLACK BOX RECORDER

No good praying to your designer gods
I'm stacked up against the elements and odds
What used to be safe and warm
Is now smashed to bits by this electric storm

Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder

Teacher's screaming at the top of her lungs
Preacher's on his knees, babbling in tongues
Neither can decide
To go into the quicksand or go out with the tide

Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder

The ship's going down with all hands
We sailed off the world's edge and no-one understands
The centre cannot hold
The foundations snap, buckle and fold

Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder

There's a flood of tears pouring down the stairs
Fire dances on the tables and chairs
There's a tornado tearing through our home
Destroying everything that we own

Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
Get the black box recorder
