.Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats Janitors padlock the gates For security guards to patrol And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink While the married ones turn on a chat show
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go And by five o'clock everything's dead And every third car is a cab And ignorant people sleep in their beds Like the doped white mice in the college lab
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed Just survive constant action replay
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs While angry from Manchester writes to complain about All the repeats on T.V. And computer terminals report some gains On the values of copper and tin While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs For the price of a hospital wing
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock And we'll all go along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
.She dreams of where she's never been Her story starts where it should end And she keeps a bible close And folds the pages down she needs the most Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
The faded walls are closing in So in her head she leaves again And they've painted ceilings blue and green And brilliant colors she's never seen
And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon You'll never be a winner if you're not in the game Nothing ever happens if you always play it safe Make a little space and get out of your own way
A ticket out sits on her shelf But gathers dust upon itself Cause chasing chance is for the brave Maybe soon she'll feel that way
But nothing ever happens if you stay in your room Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon Nothing ever happens if you don't get hurt Nothing ever happens if you never get dirty Make a little space and go on, get out Go on, get out
Leave what you don't need You're free and the pieces will fall into place You and you only Who can make a little space and... and get out of your own way Eh eh eh 4x
She sees the sunlight through the cracks It's only her who holds her back and... And so she takes her deepest breath Shuts the door and walks down the steps
And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon Nothing ever happens if you're not in the game And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe Make a little space and get out of your own...
Oh, get out of your own way Get out of your own Oh, get out of your own way Get out of your own way Ohh oh oh oh ohh
.I see nothing in your eyes, and the more I see the less I like. Is it over yet, in my head? I know nothing of your kind, and I won't reveal your evil mind. Is it over yet? I can't win.
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left. I know that I can find the fire in your eyes. I'm going all the way, get away, please.
You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to make it through, 'cause I will be the death of you.
This will be all over soon. Pour salt into the open wound.
Is it over yet? Let me in.
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left. I know that I can find the fire in your eyes. I'm going all the way, get away, please.
You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to make it through, 'cause I will be the death of you.
I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating.
You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to make it through, 'cause I will be the death of you.
.My life is all right now Everything's fine Just heard from my doctor My cancer's benign People are nice here I love my town Got evicted two days Before my house burnt down
The world Is good And nothing bad ever happens
Me and my friend, we Broke up just before He got careless And caught AIDS from a whore My good fortune My good luck Protected me from a fatal fuck
The world Is good And nothing bad ever happens
So many wars On this old sphere But there are none Being fought here Here where I am The sun is shining Remember: every cloud Has a silver lining
The world Is good And nothing bad ever happens
Nothing bad happens to me I see only what I wanna see
.Today I walked down our old street Past the diner where we'd meet Now I dine alone in our old seats The cold wind blows Right through my bones And I feel like I'm getting old But I wish I was getting old with you
I held your hand when We took shelter from the rain She laughed as we picked out Our children's names White sparrows fell from heaven And carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray
Her clothes hang in the closet still The phone sits on the windowsill And every time it rings It gives me chills My heart just stopped When I was told Doctor, doctor, on the phone Said my love was never coming home
I hold your casket gently Walking to the grave Dark clouds eclipse, The sun won't shine again White sparrows fell from heaven And carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray They gave her one more day, To say the words I couldn't say I'm crying in pain, Crying in pain
And I'm not looking for answers No I'm not looking for answers But dear God, Why did you choose her? White sparrows fell from heaven And carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray They gave her one more day, To say the words I couldn't say I'm crying in pain, Crying in pain Our love will remain, I'm crying in pain
