Lyrics

The visitors find the children gone from school:
Aged relatives sling their guns across the desks...
There'll be no break-time for them unless
They talk about tomorrow
As though it's already on its way
Amen, oh yes, they're
Waiting for the breakthrough
Waiting for the breakthrough in time
The visitors hide no aces up their sleeves
And the classroom pulses to many different drums
If only a breakthrough in time would come
If only a breakthrough in time would come
There'd be some chance for the visited ones
We could talk about tomorrow
As though we believed in that
We could talk about it right now
And it would come as a shock
To feel the fingernail grow on the trigger finger –
Still the visitors clock us
Waiting for the breakthrough
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands (It's there all the time)
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands (It's there all the time)
With time on our hands (It's there all the time)
With time on our hands (It's there all the time)
With time on our hands (It's there all the time)
With time on our hands (It's there all the time)
(It's there all the time)
(It's there all the time)
(It's there all the time)
(It's there all the time)
(It's there all the time)
(It's there all the time)
(It's there all the time)
