The Blink of an Eye - Procol Harum

It was all over in the blink of an eye

Thousands of people walking by

A big black bird swooped out of the sky

Nobody knew the reason why

It was all over in a few seconds flat

Blue skies turned grey at the drop of a hat

Pillars of dust blocked out the sun

All that the people could do was run

We thought we were living on easy street

But they pulled the rug from under our feet

all people living on easy street

But they pulled the rug pulled the out

from under our feet

It was all over in an avalanche of pain

And now the whole world can never be the same

The dreams of so many have gone up in smoke

and the ones she was left don't know how to cope

We thought we were living on easy street

But they pulled the rug from under our feet

all people living on easy street

but they pulled the rug pulled the out

from under our feet

and we thought we were living on easy street

But they pulled the rug from under our feet

all people living on easy street

but they pulled the rug pulled the out

from under our feet

pulled they on easy street

pulled they on easy street
