The Numanoid Channel

Streetcar is rusting

The tracks are all gone

And you're far too trusting

But I won't take long

Old friends of someone lie dead in the street

The backscene director knows just who I mean

No visions of my life

Will flash past my eyes

I've waited thousands of yeras for this prize

Someone is calling

But who's left alive?

Just me and you, dear

Please show some surprise

I've always been this way

Please believe me

Yellowed newspapers drift past empty cabs

Dead hotel bellboys dream of old men they've had

Ex junkies in my house are all blue and green

Please don't cry, I love you, I'm not what I seem

Isn't it lovely

It's just you and me

I've never felt so haappy to be here

Look through my window

At the hole in my wall

Straight into my head there's nobody at all

Do you think you can love me?

I am no-one

If you were the only girl in the world

And I was the only boy
