Lyrics
1983
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been meaning to tell you, the operation went horribly wrong.
I've been waiting for an inspiration, to be oh so fulfilled.
Let's commence the socializing.
That's when it all began.
And on this day, I pray for you.
Who could last through the evening without fearing the spill?
I'll wait for it now, yeah I'll wait for it now.
I'm lifeless on the table.
Have you seen my right wing?
I might have lost it in the crash of 1983.
It would be a waste to feel regret, at the pace of your half lit cigarette.
I'll give chase to the guiding flashlights! Tonight! Tonight!
I'm hoping to see you soon; I'm hoping to see you soon.
Tonight is the night!
Let's cut to the basics, over and out boys over and out, it's crystal clear.
You can't face it, face it, over and out boys over and out. Crystal clear!
There's a piercing figure at my window its come earlier than most thought,
it's come earlier than I thought.
