fade to screens of violence

like a TV screen but silent

where the victims are all paid by the hour

staring at the ceiling

that she gyrates all around me

i am trying to forget she's done this all before



far too many people

for a quiet night with myself

oh i could be anyone tonight

focus on a feeling

i've detected while i'm sleeping

sing a chorus of "On Broadway" and deny it all



you are in my vision

i can't turn my face

you are in my vision

i can't move my eyes

you are in my vision

i can't move at all

you are in my vision



delicate bodies

that decay beneath their clothing

play cards in an empty house in Paris

the wreckage of a hero

lies broken in a corner

and everyone pretends they like to live that way



you are in my vision

i can't turn my face

you are in my vision

i can't move my eyes

you are in my vision

i can't move at all

you are in my vision



Gary Numan, "You Are In My Vision", _R_e_p_l_i_c_a_s (Beggars Banquet/ATCO 1979)
