Harlan

Well I've been bouncing off the walls

Cause that was all I had to work with at the time

I had nothing to say

I got a message from a friend

He keeps his number in the phone book

But I don't use it

I got nothing to say

We never ever spoke

But I listen what he tells me

Ooh I wonder what he'd tell me

I know I've got to think accurately

He doesn't suffer fools

Time's a-wasting

So now I've got no mouth but I'm still screaming

Chorus:

And Harlan

Harlan says we're not alone

But I'm still waiting

With all these rags

By my telephone

There's a mad old boy in a Batman baseball cap down at the intersection

Waiting till the cavalry arrives

Like every day had its own meaning

Everyone would have its colour

So did numbers...

What the hell, it's only our lives.

Chorus

Jefty is the boy next door

And Jefty is five

The same as he was in 1954

( huh? )

A boy and his dog

Alone against tomorrow

Alone against tomorrow

People could lose their grip

And deep below the Earth

In caves the size of Africa

Infinitely slowly

The pain is rarified and tainted to our special needs

Always

Cause I can't live with myself if living's without you

Chorus

Oh there must be millions like us

Millions

Outside

You know all about it...

And I'm standing here

While you know all about it

You know all about it

There's one more thing, girl:

It's so tough knowing where you are...

It's so tough knowing where you are

And I just don't seem to get out that much these days.

I want to hold you in my arms.
