Native these words seem to me
All speech directed to me I've heard them once before I know that feeling Stranger emotions in mind Changing the contours I find I've seen them once before Someone cries to me Chorus: O O O O The look and the sound of the voice O O O O They try, they try O O O O The shape and the power of the voice O O O O In strong low tones Forceful and twisting again Wasting the perfect remains I've felt it once before Slipping over me (Chorus) Sweetly the voices decay Draw on the lines that they say I'd lost it once before Now it cries to me (Chorus) |

The words played on around our heads
Perhaps we went too far We'll soldier on until the end again This clutching hand around my hand So pitiful and frail Makes bleeding hearts begin to beat again Chorus: We stand in a different light That's cast upon this gigolo and gigolette We stand with a different frame around us now But when we talk we talk in time We shine with profiles so strong and so clear And when we move we move in time Won't fade like pictures that come back again Your propaganda touched my soul Those thin and cherished words A willing victim for the kill again (Repeat Chorus 2 times) |

All speech directed to me I've heard them once before I know that feeling Stranger emotions in mind Changing the contours I find I've seen them once before Someone cries to me CHORUS : Oh, the look and the sound of the voice Oh, they try, they try Oh, the shape and the power of the voice Oh, In strong low tones Forceful and twisting again Waisting the perfect remains I've felt it once before Slipping over me CHORUS Sweetly the voices decay Draw on the lines that they say I'd lost it once before Now it cries to me CHORUS Oh, the look and the power of the voice Oh, they try Oh, the shape and the sound of the voice In strong low tones |

Chorus:
We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed, we don't know why We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew of days gone by We flicked through photographs we had, somehow they made us sad Remembering the times we used to have, it made us cry Oh I remember death in the afternoon A silence fell about the room with harsh and heavy calm The lovers and the friends all felt the same, it kept us warm We raised our glass and drank to times we had, but'd see no more The pictures of the past would haunt us still, and there remains Oh I remember death in the afternoon (Repeat chorus 2 times) |

The sound is on the visions move
The image dance starts once again They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation Just living lines from books we've read With atmospheres of days gone by With paper smiles The screenplay calls a message for the nation Chorus: And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall Grey men who speak of victory Shed light upon their stolen life They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music To step in time and play the part With velvet voices smooth and cold Their power games a game no more And long the chance to use it (Chorus) And those who dance will spin and turn And those who wait will wait no more And those talk will hear the word And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall The thin wall (Repeat 3 times) And those who dance The thin wall And those who talk The thin wall And those who sneer The thin wall And those who laugh The thin wall And those who know The thin wall And those who dance The thin wall And those who wait The thin wall And those who talk (Fade) |

Light comes through a crack in the door
I tape up the windows once more Tight like a cold hand of steel Don't fear the stranger within Hands that petrify in the air Eyes catching things never there Sweet tension caught on my breath Don't fear the stranger within Watch every shape that escapes Scared to make the final mistake Speak to hear the sound of your voice Don't fear the stranger within Sit in the corner with your back to the wall Pray to your God with your head in your hands Your mask of fear is shrinking fast It's closing in more amour You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow Your wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won't come out There's nothing more to fear from the stranger within Don't fear the stranger within I feel the stranger within I see the stranger within Don't know the stranger within I am the stranger within I am the stranger within |

What is this phase that I am going through
O these precious years Please take my hand and let me breathe again Young depressive tears We stumble blindly chasing something new and something sinful You take my time you live my life for me What have I done to rate this penalty You suck me dry My body cries We stumble blindly chasing instant thrills and lasting memories Accent on youth Attention O Ascends on you O O I scream with frustration and lost control Open for the blows My hands fall limp and hang down at my side Take my soul and go We stumble blindly chasing dancing lights and others' wishes (Chorus) Just let me close my eyes and slip away Dream a dream alone You give me just enough rope for the task Let this man alone We stumble blindly chasing silhouettes and vacant faces So well rehearsed our moves once so grateful turn against us We stalk dark passages, we're looking for that sweet surrender (Chorus) |

Something stops me from seeing too clear
A misty haze floats round the room The murmurs make it hard to hear The voices and the words The days seem to drag away My speech is sparse and tends to slur I wonder what happened to my friend to day Can't hear the words Chorus: O O Your name has slipped my mind again O O O O O O O Your name has slipped my mind again O O O O O It's hard to focus in this light I'm growing warm and feeling dull The heartbeat pounds with vicious fright There's something to remember I clench my fist but feel no sensation The walls around me spin and sway A flash back image in my vision I remember (Repeat chorus 3 times) |

All the boys are wearing blue tonight.
We'll thrive, we'll dive, how can we lose? All the strangers walk like you tonight. So tall, we fall for every move. We'll laugh and talk, Don't stop for breath, In these our private lives. We dance 'til dawn, As they beat the drums, For all our private lives. Close your eyes and use the melody, Who cares who stares under the light? See the shadow tailing me again, It shows, it glows, and it grabbed so bright. |

The lights went out (The last fuse blew).
The clocks all stopped (It can't be true). The program's wrong (What can we do?). The printout's blocked (It relied on you). The turbine cracked up. The buildings froze up. The system choked up. What can we do? Please remember to mention me, In tapes you leave behind. Chorus : We stood still. We all stood still. Still stood still. We're standing still. The screen shut down (There's no reply). The lifts all fall (A siren cries). And the radar fades (A pilot sighs). As the countdowns stall (The readout lies). The turbines cracked up. The buildings froze up. The system choked up. What can we do? Please remember to mention me, In tapes you leave behind. (Chorus) The black box failed (The codes got crossed). And the jails decayed (The keys got lost). Everyone kissed (We breathe exhaust). In the new arcade (Of the holocaust). The turbine cracked up. The buildings froze up. The system choked up. What can we do? Plese remember to mention me, In tapes you might leave behind. (Chorus - Repeat 2 times). |
