The phones are off Media too The neighbours have passwords No way through Nothing is beeping No one is buzzing Radio silence Just me and you The interns are sleeping The boss got the flu The deadlines are dead to me now No work to do Nothing to report No one to court The conference concluded It's just us two So darling Count with me, Count with me In the twenty-first century The guests overstayed So we bid them goodbye This storm is strong But we're in the eye The plumber he pumped The builders they banged But the scaffolding's down It's just you and I So darling Count with me, Count with me In the twenty-first century The protest is over The police are gone They diverted the birds This is a no-fly zone Way past the curfew Time to go home It's all boiled down We're finally alone So darling Count with me, Count with me In this crazy century
