I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Oh darling how I miss you
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness

I crave the silhouette of your kiss
With only the blue light of the TV on
Lip reading threats and false alarms

There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn


[Chorus:]
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
That it's you that I'm dreaming about

Do I have to draw you a diagram?
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands


With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore

Now you're part of someone else

On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"

Now you manufacture happiness
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction


[Chorus]

All you toy soldiers and scaremongers

Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it
all before


Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
You know I love you more than slightly

Although I've never said it like this before

[Chorus]
