Switching Off

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil

And the final scene unfolds inside

Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow

Is a part replayed from a perfect day

Teachin' how to whistle like a boy

Love's first blush

Is this making sense, what am I trying to say?

Early evenin' June

This room and a radio play

This I need to save

I choose my final thoughts, today

Switching off with you

All the clocks give in and the traffic fades

And the insects like, like a neon choir

The instant fizz, connection made

And the curtains sigh in time with you

You, the only sense the world has ever made

Early evening June

This room and radio play

This I need to save

I choose my final scene today

Switchin' off

Run to ground, run to ground

But I came off

(Aaa)

(Aaa)

But I came off pretty well

I came off pretty well

Run to ground, run to ground

For a while there

(Aaa)

(Aaa)

I came off pretty well

An' I came off pretty well

(Aaa aaa)

... where the stars meet

(Aaa aaa)

You, the only sense the world has ever made

This I need to save

A simple trinket locked away

I choose my final scene today

Switchin' off with you
