lyrics

i saw the light go out
and all her people scattered 'round
they became hostages
and they've stayed ever since

my first thought was to run
then decided it could not be done
so i stayed to save
all that i could not quite erase that day

she felt the push and pull
and you know that i felt it too
we weren't quite right
but this was disguised almost every night

i kept the light turned on
in my heart i felt i was not wrong
but she made other plans
and the light went out and she slipped through my hands

and the permanence of everything just ceased
and time is once again just another disease

it weighs on me so great
holds me captive locked inside a cage
that tick-tocks every night
like a bomb about to take away my life

and the permanence of everything will cease
and time is once again just another disease
yeah the permanence of everything will cease
and time is once again just another disease

i saw the light go out
and all her people scattered 'round
we became hostages
and we have stayed here ever since
