Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A thought that never changes remains a stupid lie
It's never been quite the same
No hearing or breathing, no movement, no colors
Just silence
[Verse 2]
Rise and fall of shame
A search that shall remain
We asked you what you'd seen
You said you didn't care
[Verse 3]
Sound formed in a vacuum may seem a waste of time
It's always been just the same
No hearing or breathing, no movement, no lyrics
Just nothing
[Verse 4]
The sign that leads the way
The path we cannot take
You've caught me at a bad time
So, why don't you piss off?
Written by: Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris
