[00:00:10] Well tommy woke's at morning

[00:00:15] With a headfull of rocks

[00:00:19] And sylvia was in shock

[00:00:24] The story they'd been faking

[00:00:29] Had frozen on their lips

[00:00:33] And fallen through the brush of fingertips

[00:00:39] And though they packed their bags

[00:00:43] Ready for the road

[00:00:47] The curtains and the bedroom door

[00:00:52] Stayed closed

[00:00:58] For sylvia and tommy

[00:01:03] This is a curtain call

[00:01:07] They've been running away for years

[00:01:12] But pride in flight

[00:01:14] Precedes a certain fall

[00:01:22] So tommy rubs his stubble

[00:01:26] As if to check his face is there

[00:01:31] And sylvia combs her hair

[00:01:36] Just like nothing really happened

[00:01:41] They'll carry on as before

[00:01:45] But this thing won't work will it any more

[00:01:51] And though the bags are packed

[00:01:55] Ready for the road

[00:01:59] The curtains and the bedroom door

[00:02:04] Stay closed

[00:02:10] For sylvia and tommy

[00:02:15] There's nowhere left to hide

[00:02:19] They've been running for years

[00:02:23] To find some kind of thrill

[00:02:26] To take away the emptiness

[00:02:31] That they both feel inside

[00:02:37] Making the fictional

[00:02:41] Out of the matter of fact

[00:02:46] Masquerade the picture

[00:02:49] But now the frame's all cracked

[00:02:58] For sylvia and tommy

[00:03:03] There's nothing left to try

[00:03:07] They've been running for years

[00:03:10] To find some kind of life

[00:03:14] That offers an excitement

[00:03:18] That the rest of us pass by

[00:03:27] So tommy woke that morning

[00:03:32] With a headfull of rocks

[00:03:36] And sylvia was in shock

[00:03:41] This story they'd been faking

[00:03:46] Was frozen on their lips

[00:03:50] And falling through the brush of fingertips

[00:03:56] And though the bags are packed

[00:04:00] Ready for the road

[00:04:05] The curtains and the bedroom door

[00:04:09] Stay closed

[00:04:14] Stay closed

[00:04:19] Stay closed

[00:04:49] For sylvia and tommy

[00:04:53] There's nowhere left to go

[00:04:58] They've been running away so long

[00:05:02] There's just no strength to carry on

[00:05:07] They can't get back to what they knew

[00:05:12] A life abandoned once and long ago
