You don't have to cut all your credit cards
|
You don't have to lock all this stuff behind bars
|
You don't have to phone up the police today
|
Please don't send all the nurses away
|
|
I know that you dream and you think it's real
|
I hope when the pain comes, you really can't feel
|
Talk in your sleep and your sleep is long
|
And I try not to listen, 'cause the words sound all wrong
|
I'm just trying to wait for this wave from the window
|
From you and your nine lives
|
And I just want to witness this wave from the window
|
From you and your nine lives, nine lives
|
|
And I throw a brick through your window pane
|
If only to see you to stand up again
|
And shout at the air while you wave your arms
|
And prove to me you've never come to real harm.
|
|
They severed your speech but you're shouting out
|
If they come back for more then it's time to get out
|
'Cause surely a life is a life, after all?
|
But you don't know if this one beats no life at all.
|
|
I'm just waiting for this wave from your window
|
From you and your nine lives
|
And I just want to witness this wave from the window
|
From you and your nine lives, nine lives
|
|
I could not believe the scene before my eyes
|
When faced with such invention, unmistakeable intention
|
When one vice falls, another must arise
|
|
I'm just waiting for this wave from the window
|
From you and your nine lives
|
And I just want to witness this wave from the window
|
From you and your nine lives
|
I'm just waiting for this wave from the window
|
From you and your nine lives
|
And I just want to witness this wave from the window
|
From you and your nine lives, nine lives
|
|
I'm just waiting for waves from the window
|
I'm just waiting for waves from the window
|
I'm just waiting for waves from the window
|
I'm just waiting for waves from the window
|
I'm just waiting for waves
|
I'm just waiting for waves
|
Waiting for waves
|
Waiting for waves
|
Waiting for waves
|
You and your nine lives
|
You and your nine lives
|
From you and your nine lives
|
