Wonderful Remark

[Verse 1]

How can you stand the silence

That pervades when we all cry?

How can you watch the violence

That erupts before your eyes?

[Verse 2]

How can you tell us something

Just to keep us hanging on?

Something that just don't mean nothing

When we see it, you are gone

[Pre-Chorus]

Clinging to some other rainbow

While we're standing waiting in the cold

Telling us the same old story

Knowing time is growing old

[Chorus]

That was a wonderful remark

I had my eyes closed in the dark

I sighed a million sighs

I told a million lies

To myself, to myself

[Verse 3]

How can we listen to you

When we know your talk is cheap?

How can we ever question

Why we give more and you keep?

[Verse 4]

How can your empty laughter

Fill a room like ours with joy

When you're only playing with us

Like a child does with a toy?

[Pre-Chorus]

How can we ever feel the freedom

Or the flame lit by the spark?

How can we ever come out even

When reality is stark?

[Chorus]

That was a wonderful remark

I had my eyes closed in the dark (Yeah)

I sighed a million sighs

I told a million lies

To myself, to myself

[Outro]

Baby, to myself

Baby, to myself, to myself

To myself, to myself
