People all get ready
'Cause we're tearing down the stand
Rebuild what's gotten unsteady
And see it through with newer hands

What has gone between us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to clean us
When you're not, when you're not

And people all get ready
'Cause we're breaking down again
Rebuild what's gotten unsteady
And see it through with wiser hands

And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not

And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight

People all get ready
'Cause we're breaking down the band
Rewrite what's gone already
And see it through with angry hands

And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not, oh

And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight

Just look up, just look up
Just look up

And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight

Just look up, just look up

People all get ready
'Cause we're coming to a stop
