She'd been stalled for just one thing, the fact of being alone with him
But he was sick and she had to decide, to keep her thoughts buried alive
Yeah, buried alive
She'd been running around for him, back and forth and back again
He'd turn green when he'd tried to rise, the house would tilt from side to side
It's just another day, it's just another day
Picturing the scene, he's sleeping in his chair
The black and white TV, she sits alone upstairs
The figures move unseen, they chatter in his dreams
She's peering at the sky, waiting for something...
20 years of marking time had dulled the patterns in her mind
Your 20 years self-sacrifice is such a long long time, long long time, long long - Oh!
In hell, it's just another day
Picturing the scene, beyond the kitchen door
The sound of breaking glass, she's curled up on the floor
With one eye on the screen, a comedy routine
He's calling out her name, expecting nothing...
He just left while she slept that night
Disappeared into dawn's early light
She found the after-thought that he'd written
Said, "Look around - Earth's crammed with Heaven"
(*whisper* ...goodbye ...goodbye ...goodbye)
Goodbye ...goodbye ...goodbye
Goodbye ...goodbye ...goodbye
All that time spent walking in circles
Measuring time - the measure of everything
He was one side, I'm on his side(?!?)
Measuring time - the measure of everything
But he was sick and she had to decide, to keep her thoughts buried alive
Yeah, buried alive
She'd been running around for him, back and forth and back again
He'd turn green when he'd tried to rise, the house would tilt from side to side
It's just another day, it's just another day
Picturing the scene, he's sleeping in his chair
