Lyrics

Performance

That flashing light in a tunnel
You're in decay, in a change
Though it's not quite what you
Wanted it's obvious it could be rearranged

Hot like a crack in the concrete
If only we needed it the same way
I suppose it's another performance

Never mind, you're only alone if your eyes are open
Never mind, you'll be sorry for a day
Never mind, some words are better left unspoken
Never mind, you'll be better off this way

Wearing your cap like a bluebird
Watched you get carried away
Mmm I got too drunk to notice how obviously I need you to stay

We were contained by logic
If only it didn't cause so much pain
I suppose this is all a performance

Never mind, you're only alone if your eyes are open
Never mind, you'll be sorry for a day
Never mind, some words are better left unspoken
Never mind, you'll be better off this way

That flashing light in a tunnel
You're in decay, in a change
Though it's not quite what you wanted it's obvious it could be rearranged
Hot like a crack in the concrete
If only we needed it the same way
I suppose it's another performance
I suppose it's another
