Lyrics
Just travelling on a bus to a friend's house,
And all these people aren't looking at me
They're staring out windows,
at any English country gardens
And when gazes meet,
Vacancy shows on screens
But I see inside their latent hysteria:
Why is she looking at me?
And as I drift from one to one I can see
They're all like me
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking,
What they are doing tonight
They've all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I'm perfectly safe here inside
Please don't surprise me."
Expressionless
Everyone here loves cheap wine--
We all know good taste,
But we're just too busy trying to find
The right games to play
Impatient, aren't we all?
Watching the time drip by
And all these people are looking at me
They're gazing out windows
They're burning up in there
And as I drift from one to one I can see
They're all like me
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking,
What they are doing tonight
They've all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I'm perfectly safe here inside
Please don't surprise me."
