Retrospect

There's a ghost inside the receiver

It's been seven long hours since you've called

And we are none the wiser

But wishing we are and wishing we are

Hope fades into the dark night

A glass of champagne, that will make it right

Such a funny little story, such a funny little man

Though you run away don't worry

Just keep running as fast as you can

I'll get away from the city life and you

You will be chasing the light from me

You'll see that there's nothing left

Nothing but retrospect

I'm not a surface you can hide upon (hide upon)

I'm not the canvas you can write upon (write upon)

You're only part of this illusion for two

Deficit, but gratifying for you

And though you thought you'd never hurt me

Though you thought I'd never bleed

I came to re-write the story

And tell it as I please

I'll get away from the city life and you

You will be chasing the light from me

You'll see that there's nothing left

Nothing but retrospect

There's a ghost inside the receiver

It's been seven long days since you called

And we are none the wiser

But wishing we are and wishing we are

Hope fades into the dark night

A glass of champagne, that will make it right

Such a funny little story, such a funny little man

And though you run away don't worry

Just keep running as fast as you can

I'll get away from the city life and you

You will be chasing the light from me

You'll see that there's nothing left

Nothing but retrospect

I'll get away from the city life

I'll get away from the city life

Watch me
