Deadline

(album: Demolition - 1980)

Feeling so low, so down tonight, we're living like two machines
Knowing that we lost the fight to our darkest dreams
Empty streets, unpainted walls, echoes say good-bye
Could've found another way but they didn't even try

I heard you screaming, "One more day"

Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline
Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline

There's safety in numbers, but we're numbering the days
Holding out, killing time, nothing left to say
Softer than cyanide, given time to fade

Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline
Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline

Gazing out the windows, looking out in the night air
When the echoes said good-bye I couldn't even care
Softer than cyanide, given time to fade

Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline
Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline

Deadline

Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline
Deadline, deadline, setting us a deadline

Deadline
