Suddenly you find
   Yourself walking for a long time
   Your back's to the wall
   But now you must go
  
   Painting scenes from magazines
   Sucking breath from nicotine
   Standing tall against the crowd we sigh
   Taking turns on telephones
   Living lives in other homes
   Listening for the passionate reply
  
   Suddenly we find
   Ourselves talking for a long time
   Our voices are low
   But now you must know
  
   Giving all you have to give
   Taking all you've got to live
   Plottnig all mistakes along the way
   Find it hard to take it all
   Reading names on other walls
   Writing down the words we tried to sing
