Big Tears |
Everyone is busy with the regular routine |
The sniper just takes his aim |
Everyone is window shopping, no one is amazed |
Even if he hit you, youd still think its just a graze |
You go to a movie, you go to a show |
You think that youre living, you dont really know |
Big tears mean nothing |
You can count them as they fall |
Big tears mean nothing |
When youre lying in your coffin |
Tell me whos been taken in Oh, you talk about the new boss automatic clause |
But of course they make it all up for you |
Always fascinated by the weird edge of town |
Come home disappointed every time they put you down |
Laughing with the old boys, saying that its all noise |
I suppose big tears mean nothing |
You can count them as they fall |
Big tears mean nothing |
When youre lying in your coffin |
Tell me whos been taken in All the buttons of my overcoat |
They have fallen off one by one |
You wouldnt even like me if youd never had a drink |
You wouldnt even like me if you never stopped to think |
Standing in the shadow, turning wives to widows |
Dont you know big tears mean nothing |
You can count them as they fall |
Big tears mean nothing |
When youre lying in your coffin |
Tell me whos been taken in Tell me, me or yous been taken in Tell me, tell me, tell me |
