The 2 of Us

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Lying in my bed Watching my mistakes I listen to the band They said that it could be the two of us [Verse 2] 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 lover's dance It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class [Chorus] Lying in my bed Watching my mistakes I listen to the band Lying in my bed Nothing much to say So, I listen to the man He said that it could be the two of us [Verse 3] I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound And so, I crawled there, sickeningly pretty as the money went 'round [Chorus] 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 illness comes again Can you hear me through the rain As I listen to the band? As I sing the silent song Mime each lonely word Please listen to the man He said that it could be the two of us [Outro] Alone but not lonely You and me Alone but not lonely You and me Alone but loaded, oh ho-oh Alone but loaded, oh ho-oh Oh ho-oh Oh ho-oh
