[Verse 1]
We took too long to park the car
Ran across the street into the bar
Your face said it was four o'clock
I closed my eyes and heard a shot

[Verse 2]
The traffic lights were much too hot
I walked my eyes around the block
Purple shadows were so thin
I had to close my eyes again

[Chorus]
(I didn't know) I didn't know that they were important to you
(I thought their faces were a poster) I thought their faces were a poster
Natural things, scenery

[Verse 3]
You showed me your kind of madness
Saw sound slipping silently
Time passenger to future shock
I closed my eyes and saw you drop

[Chorus]
(I didn't know) I didn't know that they were important to you
(I thought their faces were a poster) I thought their faces were a poster
Natural things, scenery
[Instrumental Outro]
