You told me you were coming after five

If I'm alive, after five

I told you it'd be better after eight

When it's too late, after eight



And if you hear a floorboard creak

Be sure that it's not me

My feet won't touch the carpet

Now the world has set me free



If you wanna be there in good time

Get off the line, drink your wine

If you don't think you'll make it, it's okay

Gone tomorrow here today



And if silence is what shocks you

It's just a different kind of noise

It's bad for you, but it's good for me

I didn't have much choice
