[Verse 1]

Watch the walls collapse round the grey drunks

Making plans they'll never dream

And the show goes on like cigarettes and wine

For this voyage of the damned

Let's be brave, she says

We may never see tomorrow

Like she said a hundred times before

[Chorus]

And the air is stale with civilian memories

The air is stale with civilian memories

[Verse 2]

Displace its haze through the trinity pumps

Her wet lips disguise this love

Holds a burning cross and a neon heart

To the rooms of endless summer

Take me home, she says

For I may never sleep again

Like she prayed a hundred times before

[Chorus]

And the air is stale with civilian memories

The air is stale with civilian memories

[Verse 3]

And down the stairs to the underground, she says

I'll wait for you like a face in the crowd

The network sings, the ticket explodes

I'll wait for you like a face in the crowd

I'll wait for you (like a face in the crowd)

Like a face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)

Like a face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)

A face in the crowd

[Verse 4]

Displace its haze through the trinity pumps

Her wet lips disguise this love

Holds a burning cross and a neon heart

To the rooms of endless summer

Take me home, she says

For I may never sleep again

Like she prayed a hundred times before

And down the stairs to the underground, she says

I'll wait for you like a face in the crowd

The network sings, the ticket explodes

[Outro Chorus]

I'll wait for you like a face in the crowd

I'll wait for you (like a face in the crowd)

Like a face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)

Like a face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)

A face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)

I'll wait for you (like a face in the crowd)

Like a face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)

I'll wait for you (like a face in the crowd)

Like a face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)

A face in the crowd (like a face in the crowd)
