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.
