[Verse 1]

The moon is up, it's grey tonight

And the stars on the battlefield shiver in tears

A dead bright lesson from a million light-years

The game is up, it's cold tonight

So we crouch in our overcoats waiting for a dawn

Both hungry and simple and calm and warm


[Refrain]

Sixty-second interval, here it comes

Sixty seconds, into view


[Verse 2]

They're out tonight, the masks are down

And friends meet strangers and strangers are friends

And pain is passion and passion must end

They're here tonight, no fear tonight

And the hands on the faces have started to move

It's slow at first but it's over too soon


[Refrain]

Sixty-second interval, here it comes

Sixty seconds, into view


[Bridge]

10, 20, 30

40, 50, 60

70, 80, 90


[Verse 3]

They're here tonight, no fear tonight

And the hands on the faces have started to move

It's slow at first, but it's over too soon


[Refrain]

Sixty-second interval, here it comes

Sixty seconds in


[Outro]

Here it comes

Here it comes

Here it comes
