David Sylvian - Endgame

I just sank into sleep The conversation wasn’t worth repeating Faith would start the morning off By judging love, she had finally found me wanting She said that I was born with one foot in the door Displays of affection, but you don’t know what it’s for And Jesus said, “Don’t worry son That’s just the sound of God laughing“ Her room was quite a mess The court said I had no defense against her Her bags were packed, the doors are closing The three day truce of hostilities was over I thought I’d notice when my tail was in the fire She’d dress the wounds with vitriol To keep the burns alive And Jesus said, “If you listen good You’ll hear the sound of God laughing“ Last chances is in the car The fine white lines are leading to the station I’ll start the journey off Defining love with a thousand explanations Rows of telegraph poles where the railway meets the sea Counting crucifixions on this road to Calvary And the DJ said, “You’ve been listening to The wonderful sound of God laughing“
