Remember all those years ago when the world sent us a sign
Freezing on its axis stranding all of us in time
So we all put on hard hats and started up our drills
To try to rectify a world so still

And all of us got lonely when the days just wouldn't pass
We could only see each other over screens and behind glass
So we all got in shopping carts and raced them down the hill
To try to rectify a world so still

The voices on the radio they told us we were fine
While all the stores were empty and we still had to stand in line
So we all got in shopping carts and raced them down the hill
To try to rectify a world so still

And oh - we all had our guesses
Nothing too impossible to try
We tore the seams of windmill dreams and ruby satin dresses
Tied them up and hurled them at the sky

Remember at the end of it we threw open our doors
And time went right on marching as relentless as before
We never learned the secret, perhaps we never will
To try to rectify a world
To just sit back and watch it twirl
To try to rectify a world so still
