IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO NOTICE
HARDER STILL TO REACT
JUST A STONE'S THROW
FROM THE CENTRE
OF OUR ATTENTION
WE ALL FADE TO BLACK
SAVE ME FROM A
VILLAINOUS IMAGINATION
DELIVER ME FROM MY FRIENDS
IF I SAID SOMETHING
TO MAKE YOU MAD
I WILL TAKE IT BACK
IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO STOMACH
BUT TRY TO LOOK AWAY
IS THIS A NEWS REPORT
OR A TRAILER FOR
A MOTION PICTURE
IT ALL FADES TO GREY
SAVE ME FROM A
VILLAINOUS IMAGINATION
DELIVER ME FROM MY FRIENDS
IF I SAID SOMETHING
TO MAKE YOU MAD
I WILL TAKE IT BACK
LONG LINES
AND WARNING SIGNS
THINK OF ALL THE LIVES
SAVED BY PLASTIC KNIVES
IT'S NAIVE, BUT MAKE-BELIEVE
WE WILL NEVER LOSE
IF WE REMOVE OUR SHOES
IT'S HARD TO KEEP
YOUR MOUTH SHUT
HARDER STILL TO MAKE NOISE
BUT WE CAN'T HAVE
THE PERFECT
TWENTY-TWENTY HINDSIGHT
THAT OUR FATE ENJOYS
SO, SAVE ME FROM A
VILLAINOUS IMAGINATION
DELIVER ME FROM MY FRIENDS
AND IF I SAID SOMETHING
TO MAKE YOU MAD
I WILL TAKE IT BACK
I WILL TAKE IT BACK
