[Вступление] [Distorted bass climbs alone] [Two clipped guitar stabs answer] [Drums enter, straight backbeat] [Куплет 1] County keys at quarter past two Blue door dead, no way through Control room says, “hold that line” A medic calls: “we’re out of time” [Припев] Turn the key, let the red light die He needs his insulin; don’t ask why You can hold the lock, you can hold the line But you can’t make a body wait for time [Куплет 2] I feel for the release behind the plate Old brass teeth, and a jammed-up gate “Stay in lockdown,” comes through the wire I pick the catch while the alarms climb higher [Припев] Turn the key, let the red light die He needs his insulin; don’t ask why You can hold the lock, you can hold the line But you can’t make a body wait for time [Guitar solo] [Припев] Turn the key, let the red light die He needs his insulin; don’t ask why You can hold the lock, you can hold the line But you can’t make a body wait for time
