i saw him turn on

like a machine in the park

saying `please come with me'

but you've been there before

i saw him whirr away

into the night

like a nightmare on wheels

saying `never again'



i'd give it all up for you

i'd even be a number just for you

the strangest living boy

you could ever wish to see

`that's me'

yellowed newspapers

tell the story of someone

`do you know this man'

tomorrow the cure

only police ever

see night time for real

turn on the light

and cry `no more, no more'



i was standing outside your door

waiting for the grey men to go

when my mind turned on me

with a vengeance i had never known

my own

everyone heard

the voice on the radio

saying `why move around

and waste my time'

there are no

independants anymore

the tape is a circle

but who really cares



i saw you behind the wall

i even heard you laugh at me

you disgust me tonight

with your answer to something new

that's you
