[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Never get angry at the stupid people
Though I go crazy at the dullness of my life
Sit and I stare into a dusty window
An empty face stares back at me and cries

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann-Marie Gilkes]
My vulnerability rushes up to me
And I'm left here
The rebel without a cause
The deeper I delve into
The consciousness of me with you
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Ann-Marie Gilkes]
Though I get weary
Doesn't mean that I'm unwilling
My body belies me I'm of fertile mind
And as I grow older
The world forgets me
And talks to me as if I'm some kind of child
[Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
Their insensitivity washes over me
Till I'm left here
The rebel without a cause
The "deeper I delve into
The consciousness of me and you"
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

[Post-Chorus: Valerie Chalmers & Ann-Marie Gilkes]
I try to forget
I'll never see your eyes again
I can't recollect
I'll never see your eyes again
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

[Coda: Andy Bell]
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again
Don't touch me
