People ringing up, others calling round

Late night visits everybody’s underground.

                               

Negative responses to positive thought

             'I could sort it all out if I had a little snort.’

                                                                                                                                            

Go out on the make and have a little chat

Soon the conversation turns to this and that.

                               

Talking total bullshit but what’s it really matter

 A little bit of ‘this and that’ is known to make you chatter.

 

Cruising home alone feeling newly born

Everybody’s living with the curtains drawn.

 

There's nothing to get up for so why go to bed

It's all or nothing, do or die, ecstacy or dread.

 

Living for the moment hear the nightmare screams

Who knows where the time goes? Who cares what it means.

 

A whole generation looking pale and worn

Everybody’s living with the curtains drawn.

 

It doesn't know your name, orn recognise your face

It makes no distinction between sex an race.

 

Too young for work and too cool for school

The only rule you follow is there are no rules.

 

So you take it for a change, then 'jack' it for some fun

'Till pretty soon you realise the end has just begun.

                               

Far away from home, in the early dawn

Everybody’s living with the curtains drawn.

 

Just what is going on in these ever changing times

Children chasing dreams, crossing county lines.

 

When I was just a kid you knew somone had died

They always kept the curtain drawn, I often wondered why.

 

It's a very strange sensation, but when night turns to day

The light seems so much brighter when deaths a kiss away.
