How can you stand the silence
That pervades when we all cry
How can you watch the violence
That erupts before your eyes
You can’t even grab a hold on
When we’re hanging oh so loose
You don’t even listen to us
When we talk it ain’t no use
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you
Then you may begin to understand
Clear the emptiness around you
With the waving of your hand
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
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Now, how can we listen to you
When we know that your talk is cheap
How can we never question
Why we give more and you keep
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
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
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
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Listen, how can you tell us something
Just to keep us hanging on, yeah
Something that just don’t mean nothin’
When we see you, you are gone
Clinging to some other rainbow
While we’re standing waiting outside in the cold
Telling us the same sad story
Knowing time is growing old
Touch your world up with some colour
Dream you’re swinging on a star
Taste it first then add some flavour
Now you know just who you are
That was a wonderful remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I sighed a million sighs, oh yeah
I told a million lies to myself, oh yeah, to myself
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Wonderful remark
And that…
That was a wonderful remark, yes it was, right on
I had my eyes closed in the dark, right on
I sighed a million sighs
I told a million lies to myself, alright, to myself
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Right on, right on
Oh, oh, oh, oh, cut loose
Cut loose, cut loose
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
etc. (fade to end)
