From out of this swan dive
 To your arms
 I make no sounds
 When I move through your reservoir
 But I wake up quick
 And I wake up sick
 As you abandon me
 Into these fields of rank and file

 Through this crowd
 I hear you breathing
 And through these bars
 I watch them bring more in

 Now I send back letters
 From the wasteland home
 Where I slow dance
 To this romance on my own
 It may take two to tango
 But boy, just one to let go
 It's just one to let go

 Now boy keep still
 Don't spread yourself around
 Get back in line
 Eat your bread and just work the plow
 'Cause you're not through
 They're not done with you
 Did you think you were
 The only one that's been let down

 So sleep tight
 Little boys of the new damned
 Another drop in the
 Tidal wave of quicksand

 Now I send back letters
 From the wasteland home
 Where I slow dance
 To this romance on my own
 It may take two to tango
 But boy, just one to let go
 It's just one to let go

 Now another bad idea gets through
 Down this assembly line to you
 You're every bridge I should have burned
 Every lesson I've unlearned
 In this smoke-filled waiting room
 With incarcerated love sick fools
 I will wait for you to cut me loose
 Till then I...

 Send back letters
 From the wasteland home
 Where I slow dance
 To this romance on my own
 Now I send back letters
 From the Wasteland home
 Where I slow dance
 To this romance on my own
