Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band they said that it could be the two of us
The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say, so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the two of us
I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
So, I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round
Lying in my bed, watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound, in this prison of the house
And as the illines comes again, can you hear me through the rain?
As I listen to the band
As I sing the silent song
And mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the two of us
Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded, oh, oh-oh
Alone but loaded, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
