I wiped away the sweat on my face

And I looked around the room

There was nothing out of place

But nothing was happening too soon

I could see the empty chair

Leaning against its shadow

Even though there was nothing there

There was something in my eyes followed

Like marks across the sky

Erased as they're made

I could see people going by

Through the moonlit shade

But no one stopped to look

Through the blinds on the window

I guess they all took

Me for someone they don't know

A parade falls apart

When the music slows down

When the streets are in knots

But there's no one left in town

When the sweat leaves your face

And the fear leaves your knees

And you live in this place

Where you live with complete ease
