In The Glow Of The Night
|
|
The grey of evening fills the room,
|
There's no need to look outside,
|
To see or feel the rain.
|
Then I reach across to touch her,
|
But I know that she's not there.
|
Rain keeps running down the window pane.
|
Time is running out for me.
|
|
Can't you see what you are doing to me?
|
Can't you see what you have done?
|
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night,
|
A hundred crazy voices call my name,
|
As I try to pass them by,
|
I almost can believe that she is here,
|
Here in the glow of the night.
|
|
Do you know what you have done?
|
Do you know what you've begun?
|
Do you see we shall never be together again?
|
All of my life.
|
|
Lonely people, empty rooms,
|
Pointless violence, silent tombs.
|
Could it be that we shall be together again?
|
|
Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,
|
Only foreign city sirens can cut through,
|
Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold.
|
But they can't keep out the chilling sounds.
|
Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming
|
That she is here with me?
|
Here in the glow of the night.
|
|
Do you know what you have done?
|
Do you know what you've begun?
|
Do you see we shall never be together again?
|
All of my life.
|
|
Lonely people, empty rooms,
|
Pointless violence, silent tombs.
|
Could it be that we shall be together again?
|
Could it be that we shall be together again?
|
|
In silence and darkness
|
We held each other near that night
|
We prayed it would last forever.
|
|
The Last Domino
|
|
Blood on the windows
|
Millions of ordinary people are there
|
They gaze at the scenery
|
They act as if it is perfectly clear
|
Take a look at the mountains
|
Take a look at the beautiful river of blood.
|
|
The liquid surrounds me
|
I fight to rise from this river of hell
|
I stare round about me
|
Children are swimming and playing with boats
|
Their features are changing
|
Their bodies dissolve and I am alone.
|
|
Now see what you've gone and done.
|
Now see what you've gone and done.
|
|
Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
|
As was seen last night on T.V.
|
Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again
|
Such a terrible thing to see - oh
|
But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
|
You've got to go domino.
|
|
Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine
|
I know just what I gotta do
|
Play the game of happiness and never let on
|
That it only lives on in a song - oh
|
Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
|
You've got to go domino.
|
|
Do you know what you have done?
|
Do you know what you've begun?
|
|
In silence and darkness
|
Hold each other near tonight
|
For will it last forever?
|
Will it last forever - forever...
|
|
There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line
|
You've got to go domino.
|
|
Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done
|
Do you see what you've begun?
|
Cos there's nothing, nothing, nothing
|
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do
|
Do you see, do you see what you have done?
