i see the firemen jumping from the windows
 (there's panic and i hear somebody scream)
 he picks up useless paper and puts it in my pocket
 i'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
 (i can't remember tell me what's his name?)
 and all i wanted was a word - a photograph to keep at home
 and all i wanted was a word - a photograph to keep
 the sun is laughing it's another broking morning
 i see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
 (he didn't seem to hear just turn away)
 the quit fellows follows
 points his fingers straight at you
 he had to sacrifice his pride - yes
 throw it away
 and all i wanted ...
 his days are numbered he walks round and round in circles
 there is no place he can ever call his own
 (he semm's to jump at the sound of the phone)
 staring out the window
 there's nothing he can now do
 all he wanted was to remain in sane
 (he can't remember his own name)
 and all i wanted
