Just travelling on a bus
From a friend´s house,
And all these people are looking at me.
They´re gazing out windows,
In any English country gardens.

But as gazes meet,
Vacancy shows on screen.
But I feel inside
The latent hysteria:
"Why is she looking at me?"

And as I drift from one to one I can see
They´re all like me.
They´ve all got frightened eyes
Saying what they´re thinking,
What they are doing tonight.

They´ve all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I´m perfectly safe here inside.
Please don´t surprise me."

Expressionless.
Everyone here loves cheap wine--
We all know good taste,
We just get too busy trying to find
The right games to play.

Impatient, aren´t we all?
Watching the time trip by.
And all these people are looking at me.
They´re gazing out windows.
They´re burning up in there.

And as I drift from one to one I can see
They´re all like me.
They´ve all got frightened eyes
Saying what they´re thinking,
What they are doing tonight.

They´ve all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I´m perfectly safe here inside.
Please don´t surprise me."
