It was all over in the blink of an eye 一切都结束了在眨眼

Thousands of people walking by 成千上万的人走了

A big black bird swooped out of the sky 大黑飞鸟掠过的天空

Nobody knew the reason why 没有人知道为什么

   

It was all over in a few seconds flat 一切都结束了几秒钟平

Blue skies turned grey at the drop of a hat 蓝色的天空在动不动变成灰色

Pillars of dust blocked out the sun 的尘埃柱挡住了阳光

All that the people could do was run 所有的人能够做的就是运行

   

We thought we were living on easy street 我们以为我们住在街上很容易

But they pulled the rug from under our feet 但他们把毯子从我们脚下

   

It was all over in an avalanche of pain 一切都结束了痛苦的雪崩

And now the world can never be the same 现在世界绝不可能相同

The dreams of so many have gone up in smoke 这么多的梦想都灰飞烟灭涨

The ones who are left don't know how to cope 谁留下的那些不知道如何应付

   

We thought we were living on easy street 我们以为我们住在街上很容易

But they pulled the rug from under our feet 但他们把毯子从我们脚下

They pulled the rug from under our feet 他们把地毯从我们脚下
