The saddest music in the world The songs we sing that don't get more I slip a tape under your door A simple song to ask once more Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you Just stop listening From dusty shells and cold black rooms They lie and wait but no one comes I've lost the tune forgot the words Prevent myself just for the worst Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you Stop listening It's never felt the same It's running out in vain I'm howling like the train But you're not listening The deaf to mine refrain Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you Oh you, oh you, oh you, oh you Are the reason I sing
