lyrics

in the silent pictures
you'd live a celebrated life
in the silent pictures
you'd make love to your wife

and when they find you
laughing at yourself
in the camera's eye alone
when you've had your methadone

who's that beside you
singing in the rain
when yoiu've been tied to the tracks
of an oncoming train

and who has left you that way?

in the silent pictures
and you cleave your body to the ground
for the time being alone

in the silent pictures
is it you or the world that has no sound?
and the silence is a drone

and no one listens anymore ...
