A Flock of Seagulls lyrics

(instrumental)
....

What happened to the world we had when we were young?
What happened to the sun?
What happened to the buildings and the fields and trees?
Won't someone tell me, please?

I sit here all alone and watch the saucers in the sky.
Where has the feeling gone?
Don't ask me why, don't ask me.

What happened to the wings that used to search the sky?
Where did the clouds all fly?

I walked along the avenue

I never thought I'd meet a girl like you

Need a girl like you

With auburn hair and tawny eyes

The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through

And I ran

I ran so far away

I just ran

I ran all night and day

I couldn't get away

A cloud appears above your head

A beam of light comes shining down on you

Shining down on you

Man made machines make music for the man.
Now machines make music while the man makes plans.
A second generation, a generation lost,
While the man prepares for the holocaust.

Man made machines to control the days,
Now machines control while the man obeys.
A second generation, a generation lost
While machines prepare for the holocaust.

Typed by John Manfreda

The hands on the clock
Can't hold back the time.
Without the clock
There's no reason why.

Through space and time

She's an automatic,
He's a cosmic man,
They will get together.
They should know better by now.

The meet in a garden
Down in old Japan
Where young love's forbidden;
You've got to keep it hidden.

Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic.

Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic.

They locked him away
For twenty years they say.
You won't see him again,

I saw your eyes

And you made me smile

For a little while

I was falling in love

I saw your eyes

And you touched my mind

Although it took a while

I was falling in love

I saw your eyes

And you made me cry

And for a little while

I was falling in love

I was falling in love

Falling in love

Falling in love

Falling in love

Falling in love

I can see you standing outside,
See your shadow on the wall by a street lamp.
I've got a manual instructing my brain.
I turn around, cover eyes, I see you

Standing in the doorway;
Standing in the doorway
I can see you.

Standing in the doorway;
Standing in the doorway
I can see you.

I can see you walking behind,
See your face silhouetted in the half light.

Ultraviolet,
Radio light
To your solar system
On a beam of light.

This is telecommunication,
Telecommunication
Telecommunication,
Telecommunication

Laser beam
Coming through the night
To my T.V. screen,
To my color eye.

This is telecommunication,
Telecommunication
Telecommunication,
Telecommunication

Video screen,
Silver page,
With a new calibration
For the nuclear age.

What's this I see?
You're try'n' to hide
Away from me,
Away from me.

Don't you know
That you can run
But you can't hide
away.

No, you won't find
Your piece of mind
Away from me,
Away from me.

And in your mind
You will not find
Your piece of mind
today.

You can run, (no, you can't run)
You can hide, (no, you can't hide)
You can run, (no, you can't run)
You can hide
away.
