Domino: Part I-in The Glow Of The Night Part Ii-the Last Domino Lyrics

The grey of evening fills the room,

No need to look outside,

To see
or feel the rain.

I reach across to touch her,

But I know that
she's not there.

Rain keeps running down the window pane.

Time is
running out for me.



Can't you see what you are doing to me?

Can't you see what you have done?

As I try to pass another long and
sleepless night,

A hundred crazy voices call my name,

As I try to
pass them by,

I almost can believe that she is here,

In the glow of
the night.



Do you know what you have done?

Do you know what
you've begun?

Do you see we shall never be together again?

All of
my life.



Lonely people, empty rooms,

Pointless violence,
silent tombs.

Could it be that we shall be together again?



Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,

Only foreign
city sirens can cut through,

Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize
the cold.

But they can't keep out the chilling sounds.

Will the
nightmare soon give way to dreaming

That she is here with me?

In
the glow of the night.



Do you know what you have done?

Do
you know what you've begun?

Do you see we shall never be together
again?

Lonely people, empty rooms,

Pointless violence, silent
tombs.

Could it be that we shall be together again?





In silence and darkness

We held each other near that night

We
prayed it would last forever.



Blood on the windows

Millions
of ordinary people are there

They gaze at the scenery

They act as
if it is perfectly clear

Take a look at the mountains

Take a look
at the beautiful river of blood.



The liquid surrounds me

I
fight to rise from this river of hell

I stare round about me

Children are swimming and playing with boats

Their features are
changing

Their bodies dissolve and I am alone.



Now see what
you've gone and done.



Now you never did see such a terrible
thing

As was seen last night on T.V.

Maybe if we're lucky, they
will show it again

Such a terrible thing to see

There's nothing you
can do when you're the next in line

You've got to go domino.



Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine

I know what I
must do

Play the game of happiness and never let on

That it only
lives on in a song

There's nothing you can do when you're the next in
line

You've got to go domino.



Do you know what you have
done?

Do you know what you've begun?



In silence and
darkness

Hold each other near tonight

For will it last forever?



There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line

You've
got to go domino.
