Where were you when the world stopped moving?

To one side waiting wearily through it alone?

Only life you ever knew

Looking back at what you used to do

Pass a dump along the road

Rearview mirror turn it into gold

You all grew up on the radio

And all the moments that i missed

When you had fun, fun, fun but nowhere to go

They are nothing compared to this

'cause when you don't wake up for nothing

Then nothing's all you get

And then when it's all over you're gonna know

It was the best that you had yet

Wrapped up in a blanket so soothing

You've stopped but the meter's still moving along

But all ain't quite on the eastern front

March in time with your commandant

Listen up to the latest blast

And let it wipe out your past

Got your mind sppining loop de loop

And it feels like a monkey jumping through a hoop

Here's your moment

Wait a moment

And the moment is gone

And then you forgot what it was that you want

You all grew up on the radio

And all the moments that i missed

When you had fun, fun, fun but nowhere to go

They are nothing compared to this

And you all grew up on the radio

And all the moments that i missed

When you had fun, fun, fun but nowhere to go

They are nothing compared to this

'cause when you don't wake up for nothing

Then nothing's all you get

And then when it's all over you're gonna know

It was the best that you had yet

'cause we're.. still... here!
