Wonderful Remark

Lyrics

[Verse 1] How can you stand the silence That pervades when we all cry? How can you watch the violence That erupts before your eyes? [Verse 2] How can you tell us something Just to keep us hanging on? Something that just don't mean nothing When we see it, you are gone [Pre-Chorus] Clinging to some other rainbow While we're standing waiting in the cold Telling us the same old story Knowing time is growing old [Chorus] That was a wonderful remark I had my eyes closed in the dark I sighed a million sighs I told a million lies To myself, to myself [Verse 3] How can we listen to you When we know your talk is cheap? How can we ever question Why we give more and you keep? [Verse 4] How can your empty laughter Fill a room like ours with joy When you're only playing with us Like a child does with a toy? [Pre-Chorus] How can we ever feel the freedom Or the flame lit by the spark? How can we ever come out even When reality is stark? [Chorus] That was a wonderful remark I had my eyes closed in the dark (Yeah) I sighed a million sighs I told a million lies To myself, to myself [Outro] Baby, to myself Baby, to myself, to myself To myself, to myself
