The 2 of Us

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 Thank you so much And, well, we've come to the end of the gig now And, uh, I just wanna say, what-, what a real pleasure it's been playing tonight It's been, it's been wonderful It's, I don't have anything to say about all this, except that it's been a lot of fun And you've been absolutely wonderful And, I feel very happy to be here tonight You brought love in the room, and, it's been beautiful Uhm, let's do it again in another seven years time
