[00:12.430] |
The bus was late |
[00:17.172] |
And forced us all to congregate |
[00:19.944] |
Twenty-seven strangers |
[00:23.742] |
Made to stand and wait |
[00:27.720] |
The time went by |
[00:29.444] |
The sun went down |
[00:31.156] |
A baby cried |
[00:33.760] |
I just stood in line |
[00:39.979] |
But there is no cue |
[00:42.803] |
No stage hand saying what to do |
[00:46.830] |
And you are me |
[00:48.199] |
And I am you |
[01:03.573] |
The bus it came |
[01:06.470] |
And everybody loaded in |
[01:09.525] |
Twenty-seven strangers |
[01:12.855] |
In a moving can |
[01:16.131] |
The fluorescent light |
[01:19.311] |
Doubled everyone inside |
[01:23.239] |
The baby's face reflected |
[01:27.174] |
In the shopfronts in the sky |
[01:30.450] |
But faces change |
[01:33.022] |
And rules they all get rearranged |
[01:36.299] |
And photographs |
[01:38.264] |
All fade away |
[01:53.748] |
The bus broke down |
[01:55.966] |
At the graveyard on the edge of town |
[02:00.540] |
Twenty-seven strangers |
[02:02.714] |
Separate without a sound |
[02:07.404] |
So I walked home |
[02:10.076] |
Just feeling nothing on my own |
[02:13.912] |
Noticing that tree of yours |
[02:16.683] |
I've been watching it grow |
[02:20.513] |
So that's why I'm late |
[02:23.570] |
My dearest one what can I say |
[02:27.071] |
And tomorrow it could be the same |
[02:29.897] |
When I do it all again |
