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
 Lying in my bed.
 Watching my mistakes
 I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us

 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 lovers dance
 It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class

 Lying in my bed
 Watching my mistakes
 I listen to the band
 Lying in my bed
 With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
 He said that it could be the 2 of us

 I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
 And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round

 Lying in my head 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 2 of us

 Alone but not lonely, you and me
 Alone but loaded.....
