Just travelling on a bus
From a friend's house,
And all these people are looking at me
They're gazing out windows,
In any English country gardens

But as gazes meet,
Vacancy shows on screen
But I feel inside
The latent hysteria:
"Why is she looking at me?"

And as I drift from one to one I can see
They're all like me
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking,
What they are doing tonight

They've all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I'm perfectly safe here inside
Please don't surprise me"

Expressionless
Everyone here loves cheap wine--
We all know good taste,
We just get too busy trying to find
The right games to play

Impatient, aren't we all?
Watching the time trip by
And all these people are looking at me
They're gazing out windows
They're burning up in there

And as I drift from one to one I can see
They're all like me
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking,
What they are doing tonight

They've all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I'm perfectly safe here inside
Please don't surprise me"
