Lyrics Departure Lounge - Squeeze

Departure Lounge

Old boys sit and look into the distance
I never know what they’re thinking
The old boys
They can find the peace I’m lacking
In this moment
Sit with their eyes slowly closing
And then open
Diving in and out of each second
The old boys
Seem to know more than they’re saying
In this lifetime
Old boys
Walk as if they’re leaning towards me
They can feel gravity calling
From beneath us
For the old boys
Maybe know what I am thinking
Even though their memories fading
The old boys
Falling in and out of each feeling
In slow motion
Quietly losing the meaning
Of a lifetime
They consider my words with a quizzical look
Like I’m talking in some other language
Right round the corner my place in their world
One that I constantly challenge
There is no sound in the departure lounge
There is no sound in the departure lounge
