I wiped away the sweat on my face   And I looked around the room   There was nothing out of place   But nothing was happening too soon   I could see the empty chair   Leaning against its shadow   Even though there was nothing there   There was something in my eyes followed   Like marks across the sky   Erased as they're made   I could see people going by   Through the moonlit shade   But no one stopped to look   Through the blinds on the window   I guess they all took   Me for someone they don't know      A parade falls apart   When the music slows down   When the streets are in knots   But there's no one left in town   When the sweat leaves your face   And the fear leaves your knees   And you live in this place   Where you live with complete ease
