CHORDS: Verse & Bridge (, , , ); Chorus (, , )
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush
Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening 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 a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off
Ran to ground, ran to ground
But I came off, I came off pretty well, I came off pretty well
Ran to ground, ran to ground, for a while there
But I came off pretty well, and I came off pretty well
Ah ah ah ah
(Deep in a rain of sparks behind his brow)
Ah ah ah ah
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
Switching off with you
