[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Sitting target, sitting waiting
Anticipating nothing, nothing

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Life is full of surprises
It advertises nothing, nothing

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
What am I trying to do?
What am I trying to say?
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know when you woke up today

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Sitting target, sitting praying
And God is saying nothing, nothing

[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
Always knows the prospects
Learn to expect nothing, nothing
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
What am I trying to do?
What am I trying to say?
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know when you woke up today

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore]
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
Nothing, oh no, nothing, oh no
Nothing, oh no, nothing, oh no
Nothing, oh no, nothing, oh no
Nothing, oh no, nothing, oh no
Nothing, oh no, nothing, oh no
