With a heartbeat and a breath As much emotion as a silhouette Switching on then switching off Like machinery devoid of love Switch on - switch off Switch on - switch off With a footstep on the ice On the other side is paradise That's the risk we have to take Or we never move away from base The hands on the clock were going
Round and round and round and round Time is crawling on its knees today Switch on, love flows through your eyes Switch off, love goes and we lie again Lie again, lie again oh oh oh! With a promise written in your heart Take a mighty jump into the dark Face the fear, face to face And the dark becomes a friendly place
