London streets, a river of grey
Nothing to do,
nowhere to stay
Sitting in the window,
watching them pass A stranger's reflection trapped in the glass
Lonely and bored, I needed a spark To pull someone out of
the anonymous dark
Just pick a face from the endless stream
And follow their steps inside of a dream
Following close,
walking behind
Leaving your world and leaving mine
Just for a moment,
just for the thrill
To see where you're going,
to stand when you still
A rule that was made to be broken in two
I started with strangers...
and ended with you
Oxford Street crowds in slow motion blur
Chasing a ghost of who they might were Dark suit and a
bag,
weaving the maze Crossing the river through darkening haze Then a twist
in the tale,
a knock on the door Not the simple observer I fancied before
Passport photos tucked deep in a coat
A web of deception beginning to choke
Interrogation lights cutting the night
Bruises and plasters hiding the fight
Did I choose them,
or were they choosing me?
A puppet pulled strings that I couldn't quite see
The older man asks what I have to confess—
A twisted design
of guilt and distress
Following close,
walking behind Leaving your world and leaving mine Just for a moment,
just for the thrill
To see where you're going,
to stand when you still A rule that was made to be
broken in two
I started with strangers...
and ended with you
(ended with you!)
A hammer, a safe,
a bloodstained floor
The hunter's trapped behind someone else's door
Poetic justice in the dead of the night
Fading to black...
out of sight
