Silent Key Lyrics - Positive Songs For Negative People - Frank Turner

On the twenty-eighth of january 

Nineteen eighty-six 

Christa McAuliffe gazed in horror as the O-rings failed 

And she died, and she died, and she died 

For the next agonizing two minutes and forty-five long seconds 

She called out the truth on a broken radio 

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive 

It came as some surprise to realize that as she lost everything 

The world was revealed in a transmission so real that 

She understood everything 

You're still alive 

You're still alive 

Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away 

A homemade hand radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home 

Came alive, came alive, came alive

And so the four year old amateur operator thus became the only 

Person to hear Christa's last desperate communicate 

We're alive, we're alive, we're alive 

It came as no surprise to realise that while he didn't catch everything 

The world was revealed in a transmission so real that 

He understood everything 

You're still alive 

And Christa said 

The darkness up above 

Led me on like unrequited love 

While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea 

The darkness up above 

Led me on like unrequited love 

While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea 

The darkness up above 

Led me on like unrequited love 

While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea

The darkness up above 

(At four years old) 

Led me on like unrequited love 

(I head the truth on my radio) 

While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea 

(So now I hold a moment silence for my silent key)
