We have no audience for our silence
And the years will pass by, there'll be no applause, There'll be no encores or victory laps this time There'll be no vote, there'll be no eviction
Just the humdrum... that truth is stranger than fiction

Words taken back and recycled
The old ones loft for dead
But we keep on shouting although there's nothing left to say
And every hour thnat passes adds up to a wasted day
When we could a
