You know the way that things go
When what you fight for starts to fall
And in that fuzzy picture
The writing stands out on the wall
So clearly on the wall
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Qawwali vocals
Send out the signals, deep and loud
And in this place can you reassure me
With a touch, a smile -
While the cradle's burning
All the while the world is turning to noise
Oh, the more that it's surrounding us
The more that it destroys
Turn up the signal - wipe out the noise!
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Qawwali vocals
Send out the signals, deep and loud
Man, I'm losing sound and sight
Of all those who can tell me wrong from right
When all things beautiful and bright sink in the night
Yet there's still there's something in my heart
That can find a way to make a start
To turn up the signal - wipe out the noise!
You know that's it
Receive and transmit
Signal to noise.
