[01:27.01]Then something warm and soft just passed through here
[01:39.16]It took the precious things that I hold dearer
[01:51.50]It rifled through the gray and disappeared
[02:03.32]The creeping darkness makes the small hours clearer
[02:14.14]Like a cancer scare in the dentist's chair
[02:16.95]Suckin' in the air, wire across the stair
[02:20.04]Kickin' down the door at your local store
[02:23.03]With the world at war, voices through the floor
[02:26.57]Unexpected news, wearing high heeled shoes
[02:29.20]Blowing out the fuse, payin' all your dues
[02:32.18]Deadwing lullaby like a fracture tied
[02:35.21]It's a worthless lie to the public eye
[02:40.17]I don't take waifs and strays back home with me
[02:52.06]My bleeding heart does not extend to charity
[03:53.35]Yes, I'd have to say I like my privacy
[04:05.91]Did you know you're on closed circuit TV?
[04:11.72]So smile at me
[04:17.59]And a dream you had of your mum and dad
[04:20.24]On a beach somewhere and the poison air
[04:23.05]With the cancer threat in a cigarette
[04:26.02]Deadwing lullaby, find a place to hide
[04:30.83]And from the yellow windows of the last train
[04:42.91]A specter from the next life breathes his fog on the pane
[04:55.01]I look with you into the speeding black rain
[05:07.47]Afraid to touch someone, afraid to ask her for her name
[08:23.00]And in the morning when I find I have lost you
[08:34.59]I throw a window open wide and step through
