How can you stand the silence |
|
That pervades when we all cry |
|
How can you watch the violence |
|
That erupts before your eyes |
|
You can't even grab a hold on |
|
When we're hanging oh so loose |
|
You don't even listen to us |
|
When we talk it ain't no use |
|
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you |
|
Then you may begin to understand |
|
Clear the emptiness around you |
|
With the waving of your hand |
|
That was a wonderful remark |
|
I had my eyes closed in the dark |
|
I sighed a million sighs |
|
I told a million lies to myself, to myself |
|
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh |
|
Now, how can we listen to you |
|
When we know that your talk is cheap |
|
How can we never question |
|
Why we give more and you keep |
|
How can your empty laughter |
|
Fill a room like ours with joy |
|
When you're only playing with us |
|
Like a child does with a toy |
|
How can we ever feel the freedom |
|
Or the flame lit by the spark |
|
How can we ever come out even |
|
When reality is stark |
|
That was a wonderful remark |
|
I had my eyes closed in the dark |
|
I sighed a million sighs |
|
I told a million lies to myself, to myself |
|
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh |
|
Listen, how can you tell us something |
|
Just to keep us hanging on, yeah |
|
Something that just don't mean nothin' |
|
When we see you, you are gone |
|
Clinging to some other rainbow |
|
While we're standing waiting outside in the cold |
|
Telling us the same sad story |
|
Knowing time is growing old |
|
Touch your world up with some colour |
|
Dream you're swinging on a star |
|
Taste it first then add some flavour |
|
Now you know just who you are |
|
That was a wonderful remark |
|
I had my eyes closed in the dark |
|
I sighed a million sighs, oh yeah |
|
I told a million lies to myself, oh yeah, to myself |
|
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh |
|
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh |
|
Wonderful remark |
|
And that... |
|
That was a wonderful remark, yes it was, right on |
|
I had my eyes closed in the dark, right on |
|
I sighed a million sighs |
|
I told a million lies to myself, alright, to myself |
|
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh |
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
|
Right on, right on |
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh, cut loose |
|
Cut loose, cut loose |
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
|
etc. (fade to end) |
