The night's conversation might never really end up anywhere
|
The big mouths just open and close on fingers
|
The shal-la-la-la-low laughs they turned out to be hard reminders
|
And we only heard them playing behind us behind us

And I'm not gaining any ground here
|
You are not listening you do not care
|
You are not whispering in the right ear
|
It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights
