Rise rise, fly above your head Cups are running over, voices out of breath Time time time, time has come again Part another red-eye sea Talking it to death Just because you mean it Doesn't mean we've seen it Call call call, ringing through the night When we finally answer, will they get it right Run, run, run it up the pole Hard to say you hate 'em Just doing what they're told Just because you feel it Doesn't mean its real Not it's clear the air in here Is dragging down the shine As it grows thicker Others say the magic's gone away Look closer maybe you might see The flicker Talk talk talk - wagging of your tongue Wishin' it was over, doesn't make it done Cry baby cry, smash up all the chairs Just because we're laughing, doesn't mean that we don't care Just because you feel it Doesn't mean we feel it Now it's clear the air in here Is dragging down the shine As it grows thicker Others say the magic's gone away Look closer baby you will see The flicker The olden ways have had their day The shine escapes the shadows Moving quicker Now it's clear the air in here Shining from the light Of a thousand flickers Bye, bye, bye, thought you lost a friend Maybe found the love you seek Leaving in the end
