Lyrics

[Part I: In the Glow of the Night] (B-Side to "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight") [Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 Ooh, the lonely people, empty rooms And all the pointless violence, silent tombs Could it be that we shall be together again? [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 Ooh, the lonely people, empty rooms And all the pointless violence, silent tombs Could it be that we shall be together again? Could it be, we shall be together again? [Bridge] In silence and darkness We held each other near that night We prayed it would last forever [Part II: The Last Domino] (B-Side to "Invisible Touch") [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Interlude] Now see what you've gone and done Now see what you've gone and done [Verse 5] Well now you never did see such a terrible thing As you seen last night on the TV Maybe, if we're lucky, they will show it again Such a terrible thing to see, oh [Chorus] But there's nothing you can do When you're the next in line But you got to go, domino! [Verse 6] Now I'm one with the living, and I'm feeling just fine I know just what I gotta do Play the game of happiness and never let on That it only lives on in a song [Chorus] Well there's nothing you can do When you're next in line You got to go, domino! [Post-Chorus] Do you know what you have done? And, do you know what you've begun? [Bridge] In silence and darkness Hold each other near tonight For, will it last forever? Will it last forever? Forever [Chorus] There's nothing you can do You're the next in line But you got to go, domino! [Outro] Do you know, do you know? Do you know what you have done? Do you see what you've begun? 'Cause there's nothing, nothing, nothing There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do Do you see? Do you see what you have done?
