Soft Focus

One day I lost my face in a crowd

I tried to call it back, the colors ran into the sand

I'd worn this face before now

And looked out through these jaded eyes

Soft focus...soft focus...

To watch the picture tube, and see me fade from black to grey

Through the darkness I stumbled to

Laughter in the darkened room

Though when I came through the doorway

The laughter seemed to fade away

Soft focus...soft focus...

Oh can't you see me in this crowded room? God, can't you hear me in this...

Headlights on the screen passing far away

I saw my eyes in the car, red light jumped on my face

On to the screen and left me here

I couldn't walk away...
