You couldn't keep
Your lavish voice down
Like a volcanic flow
That clings to the ground
When the light shone down
Upon your checkered face
You reach but don't take
In a quiet room
No more time to spend alone
This place is drab
You're the best friend I ever had
When the light shone down
Upon your checkered face
When you say the things you say
I don't know what to think
In a quiet
The things you say
No more
The things you say
In a quiet
No more
When the light shone down
Upon your checkered face
When you say the things you say
I don't know what to think.
