Just travelling on a bus
From a friend's house
And all these people are looking at me
They're gazing out windows
In any English country gardens
But as gazes meet
Vacancy shows on screen
But I feel inside
The latent hysteria:
Why is she looking at me?

As I drift from watching what I can see, they're all I need
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking, what they are doing tonight
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying leave me alone, I'm perfectly safe here inside
Please don't surprise me

Expressionless, everyone here loves cheap wine
We all know good taste
We just get too busy trying to find the right games to play
Impatient and we all are watching the time drip by
And all these people are looking at me
They're gazing out windows
They're burning up in it

As I drift from watching what I can see, they're all I need
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking, what they are doing tonight
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying leave me alone, I'm perfectly safe here inside
Please don't surprise me
