The Bombmaker


He walks underneath the street lights
and through a doorway into an empty room
there is money here lying on the table
his eyes go out into the early evening gloom
Somewhere close there are people laughing
deep inside he knows that he never will again
don't mind that big bang, the voice of reason sang
it ain't nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Are you on my side?
are we on the same side before?
am i just kidding myself
in the waiting for the end?
Beneath the screams the sirens rise
from head to toe, he's bathed in an orange-yellow light
picking up a black bag, he walks out through the doorway
a shadow of creation gone to meet the night

Are you on my side?
are we on the same side before?
am i just kidding myself
in the waiting...
on my side?
are we on the same side before?
am i just kidding myself
in the waiting for the end
One more time for freedom, then
one more time to strike out at the past you cannot change
there are 50 ways to leave your lover but there isn't one that will ever bring them back again
Are you on my side?
are we on the same side before?
am i just kidding myself
in the waiting...
on my side?
are we on the same side, before?
am i just kidding myself
in the waiting for the end
