Losing time as hours pass
The buses and the trams suspended
Even drunks are off the streets
And call girls' phones are
disconnected
An d they've shut the bakeries
They've boarded up the
printing presses
An d they've put on silencers
So you will never know I'm here
Caught after the curfew
You know roadblocks ring the city center
Like patrols are on the highways
Waiting at the exits and along
the back roads in the front
An d they've shut
the dailies down
They've taken over all the networks
And they'll monitor the news
So you will never know how many
Caught after the curfew
Caught after the curfew
Caught after the curfew
Caught after the
curfew
Crowded buses will meet the dawn
The same old faces getting on
But look around
You'll see a few are gone
But don't you wonder out loud
Cause you don't know
Who could be in that crowd
Just waiting for a comment
you might make.
Only listening for a word
said by mistake.
And tomorrow night they'll be awake,
and they'll fix it so you're caught after the curfew.
Caught after the curfew at night.
Caught after the curfew.
Caught after the curfew.
You
