wiped away the condensation
lookes down at the empty street
a girl in white - fright screaming loudly
a screwed-up nut in close pursuit
i stood and watched
frozen to the spot
i stood and watched
her bruised chest heave and stop
not more than a hundred miles from here
i could be sleeping
no more pillow fears
but now i find that i can´s hide
i can´t hide i can´t hide anymore
we didn´t like the interfere
we´re all respectable people here
turn out the lights and continue watching
seven stories up and conscience clear
lying in the curb
legs bent the wrong way
shattered glass and uniparts on the road
the ghouls on the pavement
were making a feast of it
their kids licking ice-creams
and asking rude questions
i stood and watched
eyes glued to the spot
i stood and watched the blood begin to clot
they stand and stare at anything that moves
half naked silhouettes
net curtain viewers
but now i find that i can´s hide
i can´t hide i can´t hide anymore
The convoy moves closer
to the scene of disaster
families from miles around gather here
siren lights and polaroids
flashing in the darkness
a blackbox for the pilot and passengers
i stood and watched
transfixed, cool and hot
i stood and watched burnt bodies left to rot
not more than twenty-four hours from here
i could buy a one-way ticket and disappear
but still i find that i can`t hide
i can´t hide i can´t hide anymore
