Words

(album: Octopus - 1995)

Can you feel it when
your throat dries?
Can you see it in the night sky?
Just a mumble round at tea time
Smile
When I'm watching you

When I was a child
We were living in fear
Living in fear
When I was a child
Just a light year from here
Living in fear

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

Tolerating propaganda
And your girlfriend, Alexandra
With her secret memoranda
Signs
For an interview

Searching for the light
In the world of the blahs
Masquerading as stars
How can this be right?
You've been going too far
Leaving conscience ajar

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

When I was a child
We were living in fear
Living in fear

Worlds may shatter

Years don't matter

Words came back to haunt you

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you

Worlds may shatter
Years don't matter
Words came back to haunt you
Friends past missing
Reminiscing
Words came back to haunt you
