You shake as you think of how they sleep
You'd be the first away because you're that type
You don't know a thing about their lives
With the hope of hearing sense
And if a fight broke out here tonight
Reader meets author
He says, "No-one ever sees me when I cry"
But you write as if you all lie side by side
But you may be feeling let down by the words of defense
As each fabled promise flies so fast
And you start to imagine things
You'll swear it was never there
And the year 2000 won't change anyone here
You hear the way their sad voice sings
Oh, have you ever escaped from a shipwrecked life ?
Books don't save them, books aren't Stanley Knives
So safely with your software of miles from the front line
