Babies

[Verse 1] After you're gone, babies Ride the soft machine Threading the warm children Down the space between Into a slow heaven Hanging by a thread Leaving the still living For the walking dead [Verse 2] It took so long To find my way out of here Out of the warm night, to the hard light Shivering with fear After you're gone, babies Crawling on the world Touching the souls of all the lonely Carefree boys and girls Daddy needs you Mamma feeds you And they come until they go But if I'm lonely, I'm the only one who knows [Verse 3] It took so long To find my way out of here Out of the warm night, to the hard light Shivering with fear After the slow lonely waiting I'm all alone, alone and free If you see me, please believe me I want to be [Verse 4] After you're gone, babies Screaming at the rain Hanging a slow heaven In the wind again She's been waiting 270 days Sick of waiting When you see me Please believe me I'm the only one who cares at all [Outro] After the slow lonely heaven I'm all alone, alone and free If you see me Please believe me I want to be After you're gone
