Can you feel it when your throat dries?   Can you see it in the night sky?   Just a mumble round at tea time   Smile, when I'm watching you      When I was a child   We were living in fear, living in fear   When I was a child   Just a light year from here, living in fear      Worlds may shatter, years don't matter   Words come back to haunt you   Worlds may shatter, years don't matter   Words come back to haunt you   Friends past missing, reminiscing   Words come back to haunt you      Tolerating propaganda   And your girlfriend, Alexandra   With her secret memoranda   Signs for an interview      Searching for the light   In the world of the blahs, masquerading as stars   How can this be right?   You've been going too far, leaving conscience ajar      Worlds may shatter, years don't matter   Words come back to haunt you   Friends past missing, reminiscing   Words come back to haunt you      When I was a child   We were living in fear, living in fear      Worlds may shatter, years don't matter   Words come back to haunt you   Worlds may shatter, years don't matter   Words come back to haunt you   Friends past missing, reminiscing   Words come back to haunt you      Living in fear      Worlds may shatter, years don't matter   Words come back to haunt you   Friends past missing, reminiscing   Words come back to haunt you      Living in fear
