Now coming down

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
