88 Seconds in Greensboro Songtext

von Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark

88 seconds is all it takes
88 seconds, don't make mistakes

We've seen you, we can see you
In red and blue, in black and white
Under crystal skies, in full day light
You know it, God, you know it

88 seconds is all it takes
(88 seconds)
In 88 seconds we don't make mistakes

We know you oh, yes we have known you
Times are changing but not in our street
Once we played there like the good times
You know it, God, you know it

They're heading for a shallow grave
With a big black cross by a tall white house
To a place down south, we won't forget
To be stabbed in the back by a man they met

In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
88 seconds in Greensboro
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
88 seconds

88 seconds in Greensboro
In 88 seconds, in Greensboro
Is all we take, is all we take

88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
88, 88, 88, 88, 88, 88
88, 88
