Scream When You Cry

Your mother's in the basement

She's going through her life

The doctors say she's crazy

She's wasted all her time

And the walls are getting closer

There's space up in the light

She can hear the traffic hang around

Where the lovers came round earlier tonight

Heard you scream when you cry

You fight with your eyes

There's a letter on the side

And a call came through tonight

Saying shoot on sight

No, my aim's not right

Oh, I'm just killing time

There's a hole in every one of us tonight

The neighbours called the police again

There's a crowd gathered outside

They sealed off the building

Now they're looking for a crime

And I'm out here taking pictures

I'm just trying to feel alive

There's a guy selling his dreams

For a place up at the front of the line

Heard you scream when you cry

You fight with your eyes

There's a letter on the side

And a call came through tonight

Saying shoot on sight

No, my aim's not right

And I'm just killing time

There's a hole in every one of us tonight

Shoot on sight

No, my aim's not right

There's a hole in every one of us tonight

(Ah)

Shoot on sight

No, my aim's not right

And I'm just killing time

There's a hole in every one of us tonight

There's a hole in every one of us tonight
