Words - The Human League

Can you feel it when

your throat dries?

Can you see it in the night sky?

Just a mumble round at tea time

Smile

When I’m watching you

When I was a child

We were living in fear

Living in fear

When I was a child

Just a light year from here

Living in fear

Worlds may shatter

Years don’t matter

Words came back to haunt you

Worlds may shatter

Years don’t matter

Words came back to haunt you

Friends past missing

Reminiscing

Words came back to haunt you

Tolerating propaganda

And your girlfriend, Alexandra

With her secret memoranda

Signs

For an interview

Searching for the light

In the world of the blahs

Masquerading as stars

How can this be right?

You’ve been going too far

Leaving conscience ajar

Worlds may shatter

Years don’t matter

Words came back to haunt you

Friends past missing

Reminiscing

Words came back to haunt you

When I was a child

We were living in fear

Living in fear

Worlds may shatter

Years don’t matter

Words came back to haunt you

Worlds may shatter

Years don’t matter

Words came back to haunt you

Friends past missing

Reminiscing

Words came back to haunt you

Worlds may shatter

Years don’t matter

Words came back to haunt you

Friends past missing

Reminiscing

Words came back to haunt you
