Lying in my bed, I think of you   That song goes through my head, the one we both knew   In each line lies another line full of sacred sound   But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round      Lying in my bed.   Watching my mistakes,   I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us      The snow might fall and write the lines    on the silent page   But you're outside making permanent love    to the nuclear age   Two silhouettes by the cash machine    make a lovers dance   It's a tango for the lonely wives    of the business class      Lying in my bed   Watching my mistakes   I listen to the band   Lying in my bed   With nothing much to say so I listen to the man   He said that it could be the 2 of us      I heard you call from across the city    through the stereo sound   And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty    as the money went round      Lying in my head watching my mistakes   I listen to the band   And the drums beat in my head   Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house   And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain   As I listen to the band?   As I sing the silent song   Mime each lonely word   Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us      Alone but not lonely, you and me   Alone but lonely...
