Alan at the window staring down into our tiny lives. We smoke and we survive.
We are advertising sunlight, selling space.
And every plot that we sell off soon turns to brick and blocks that little bit more sky.
They shine spotlights in our eyes and we are blinded.
Cameras in the courtyard spying down into our tiny crimes, our cute transgressions ride.
We lie startled in the strobes of other lives.
Tell me that there's something else.
Tell me that there's something else.
But don't preach a lie. Don't preach a lie
Her hair is two colours. And her heart is in two pieces and her body's in two minds just to quit it.
How everywhere she glances, awkward couples staying stranded.
Lying shamelessly together. Lying silent but awake forever.
Tell me that there's something else.
Tell me that there's something else.
But don't preach a lie. Don't preach a lie
