Lyrics
There's a telephone ringing in an empty room
And car brakes squealing
Distant traffic, constant sighing
Far off voices mumbling
Above a jet plane droning
Dogs barking, pigeons moaning
Dishes rattling in a sink
A screen door slams
Someone laughing
Grasses being softly trampled
Heavy objects dragged on gravel
Children screaming
My own heart beating
Fighting down the panic, panic, panic
Shapeless silhouettes slipping
Just out of sight
Car headlights screaming
Inescapable light
Telephone voice droning
The words can't be right
You're warmer than breathing
Beside me last night
Blank formless faces turning away
Dead lips fall silent
No words to say
If only they'd leave me
But perhaps you might stay
In my windowless room
Night turns to day
A crack in my wall
And it looks just like you
Sometimes my sheets are the home for a baby
But someone always pulls them down again
Now I think I can hear you
An inaudible sigh
In the mirror I see your image fleeting by
And I reach out to touch you
This must be a lie
I call out your name but
There is no reply
