Everything's so still I think the wind is watching from it's Northwest window sill Looking straight ahead I feel a bit too far for comfort, won't you take my hand I hope this is only the end of the show And we all get leading roles The doors we close behind They're never locked and always draughty Hands, hearts, brains Are irreparably changed And many miles down the road
On a night that's dark and stormy We'll be sold to the sky In a violent flash of light I thought the set was real Till our friends went to their dressing rooms And I felt the cardboard trees So now here we are All alone and naked Beneath these white, fluorescent stars And our laundry will swing on the line Story told, the credits roll The lights are up, it's time to go
