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
