|
There's a telephone ringing in an empty room |
|
And car brakes squealing |
|
Distant traffic, constant sighing |
|
Far-off voices mumbling |
|
Vah-vah-vah jet plane droning |
|
Dogs barking \ kitchens moaning |
|
Dishes rattling in a sink |
|
A screen door slams |
|
Someone's laughing |
|
Grass is being softly trembled |
|
Heavy object dragged on gravel |
|
Children screaming |
|
My own heart beating |
|
Fighting down the panic, panic, panic! |
|
Shapeless silhouettes slipping \ Just out of sight |
|
Car headlights screaming \ Inescapable light |
|
Telephone voice droning \ The words can't be right |
|
You were warm, even breathing \ This sunday last night |
|
Lying formless faces \ Turning away |
|
Deaf lips fall silent \ No words to say |
|
If only they'd leave me \ Perhaps you might stay |
|
In my windowless room \ Night turns to day |
|
There's a crack in my walls |
|
And it looks just like you |
|
Sometimes my sheets are the hills of Arabia |
|
But someone always pulls them down again |
|
Now I think I can hear you \ An inaudible sigh |
|
In the mirror I see you're \ Inbetweening by |
|
And I reach out to touch you \ This must be a lie |
|
I call out your name \ But there is no reply |
