Genesis Domino
The grey of evening fills the room No need to look outside Oh to see or feel the rain I reach across to touch her But I know that she's not there Rain keeps running down the window pane Time is running out for me Can't you see what you are doing to me Can't you see what you have done As I try to pass another long and sleepless night A hundred crazy voices call my name As I try to pass them by I can almost believe that she is here She's in the glow of the night Do you know what you have done Do you know what you've begun Do you see we shall never be together again All of my life Oh the lonely people, the empty rooms Pointless violence, silent tombs Could it be that we shall be together again Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night Only foreign city sirens can cut through Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimise the cold But they can't keep out the chilling sounds Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming That she is here with me She's in the glow of the night Do you know what you have done Do you know what you've begun Do you see we shall never be together again All of my life Oh the lonely people, the empty rooms Pointless violence, silent tombs Could it be that we shall be together again Yes, could it be that we shall be together again In silence and darkness We held each other near that night We prayed it would last forever Forever Blood on the windows Millions of ordinary people are there They gaze at the scenery They act as if it is perfectly clear Take a look at the mountains Take a look at the beautiful river of blood The liquid surrounds me I fight to rise from this river of hell I stare round about me Children are swimming and playing with boats Their features are changing Their bodies dissolve and I am alone I am alone Now see what you've gone and done Now see what you've gone and done Now you never did see such a terrible thing As was seen last night on TV Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again Such a terrible thing to see There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line You've got to go Domino Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine I know just what I must do Play the game of happiness and never let on That it only lives on in a song No there's nothing you can do when you're the next in line You've got to go Domino Do you know - - What you have done Do you know - Do you know what you've begun In silence and darkness Hold each other near tonight And pray it will last forever Forever Will last forever Forever No there's nothing you can do when you're the next in line You've got to go Domino Do you know - - What you have done Do you know - Do you know what you've begun
