Reinventing moonlight for model lace
Hands touch faces and lips whispers simple phrases

So faithful, and sincere
(What's the password? What's the password?)
Walked into a room, a kind man
(Error, invalid)
Doesn't know my face, doesn't know my name
(System failure)
The kind man doesn't know my face
(What's the password? What's the password?)

I was alone today
(When I get my hands on him) [I still remember when]
I couldn't help thinking that
(Oh, just you wait and you'll see) [(?)]
There's nothing for me in this town
(When I get my hands on him) [When you came to this place]
(Oh, just you wait and you'll see) [To live and to learn and to live]
I was alone today
(When I get my hands on him) [I still remember when]
I couldn't help thinking that
(Oh, just you wait and you'll see) [We said Hallelujah]
There's nothing for me in this town
(When I get my hands on him) [Can't you spare him some love]
(Oh, just you wait and you'll see) [When he's given so much to you?]

"Well, give me one reason to trust you again"
She said, and I replied
"Well, I cannot, for I have none"
(Can't you give him some of your precious time?)
"Then trust in me, so that mine can return"
She said, and I replied
"Well, I cannot, for I have none"
(Can't you give him some understanding this time?)
"Then share with me, a starving need to hold on"
She said, and I replied
"Well, I cannot, for I have none"
(Can't you give him a chance, just one more time?)
"What then? Where do we place ourselves?"
She said, and I replied
"On the funeral pyre to burn" ("I cannot, for I have none")
(Alone I am now, alone I will stay)

With scriptures written on the walls
This house that used to feel like home
Is now nothing more than a room
Is now nothing more than a room full of strangers
