Intro) (Bright, clean electric guitar riff with chorus effect. Drums kick in—fast, driving tempo) (Verse 1) The grey cement is weeping again And the bus stop queue is a parade of pain I tried to smile at a passerby He looked at me as if I’d asked him to die And oh, the sheer vulgarity Of forced conversation and polite society I am shrinking, I am fading Inside this suit, I am suffocating (Pre-Chorus) They dance to songs that say absolutely nothing While I stand in the corner, frantically blushing I was planning my escape route by half-past nine... (Chorus) But then there is you The only living soul in this graveyard view We are two wretched islands, drifting close Making fun of the people who boast the most I am terribly lonely, it’s true But I am ideally alone with you Yes, ideally alone with you (Verse 2) Meet me by the library gates Let’s critique the fashion of the people we hate You offer me a light in the wind And forgive me for the moods I am in Because nobody understands the joke Or the heaviness inside of the words we spoke The town is a vampire, it drains the blood But we are safe here, stuck in the mud (Chorus) But then there is you The only living soul in this graveyard view We are two wretched islands, drifting close Making fun of the people who boast the most I am terribly lonely, it’s true But I am ideally alone with you Yes, ideally alone with you (Bridge) (Melodic bass solo, high on the fretboard) Let them have their discos Let them have their sun We have the rain And we have the fun Of being undone... Together. (Outro) (Vocals become dramatic and wailing) Just you and I Against the sky Ideally alone Ideally alone Ideally alone with you... (Fade out on a jangly guitar chord)
