Pushing away all the years that passed
Watch all the people float by
Wait for the first to turn up last
Watch all the runners cry
You can watch me splitting at the seams
Don't you worry, you'll figure in my dreams
I'll be sorry as you make me scream
It's all part of the scheme
Meeting you here in this dark red room
Feeling your twinkling eyes
While I'm still dreaming of the candle and spoon
Who's to care if you cry?
When I took those trips on the district line
Watching the signs of the times
Dying inside while trying to feel fine
While you read between the lines
You can find me playing at the Moon
You can see me smashing up my room
Death is on its way
It'll never come too soon
Feeling the pressure that lies over heads
And pushing, and pressing me down
Watching the stars, they're wishing me dead
Why does the sky wear a frown?
Why is the earth so stoney and cold
Is all life really this way?
I turn on the radio, the DJ so bold
But he's got nothing to say
Look this way, you might see me falling through
Look this way, you might see me dying too
With my eyes glued on you
All I've got left is to keep on shining through
It's all part of the scheme
Pushing away years of past
Should people float by
Wait for the first to turn out last
Watching the runners cry
Watching the people I knew yesterday
See their photos are faded
Watching the people all running away
Through the river they waded
You can watch me splitting at the seams
Don't you worry, you'll figure in my dreams
I'll be sorry as you make me scream
It's all part of the scheme
