I saw him turn on Like a machine in the park Saying `please come with me’ But you’ve been there before I saw him whirr away Into the night Like a nightmare on wheels Saying `never again’
I’d give it all up for you I’d even be a number just for you The strangest living boy You could ever wish to see `that’s me’ Yellowed newspapers Tell the story of someone `do you know this man? ’ Tomorrow the cure Only police ever See night time for real Turn on the light And cry `no more, no more’
I was standing outside your door Waiting for the grey men to go When my mind turned on me With a vengeance I had never known My own Everyone heard The voice on the radio Saying `why move around And waste my time’ There are no Independents anymore The tape is a circle But who really cares
I saw you behind the wall I even heard you laugh at me You disgust me tonight With your answer to something new That’s you
