And the tablets dropped on your tongue, dissolve
The precious little else that I could say
And the stones in the track make work for the mechanic
Your stupid tears of laughter washed away, dissolve
So salute me in moving frame
And it flickers on, tries so hard to be scandalous
A child keeps beating on a toy drum
While the poisonous light pours from the picture palace
And a back-fire echoes down the hillside
As the last headline report dies, dissolve
The mourning border card behind the clock
The gin and tonic glasses overflow, dissolve
Ice is melting at the distant pole
The birds all fly from the branches in a panic
Who knows where on earth it's going to stop?
I can't hear you 'cos we're breaking up, dissolve
I might not be there when you look again
