Screens Lyrics

Standing on the platform, waiting in the crowd
To leave the weary week behind
Eyes up on the ceiling, staring without sound
Upon the hypnotising signs
They're watching, they're waiting on screens

Suddenly a panic takes hold of their eyes
And spreads a wildfire of unknown
The station now is manic, the timetables are down
And now a tidal wave of phones
They're watching, they're waiting on screens

Now and then I see you friend, mostly we're on-line
I wonder when we'll meet again... will we find the time

Laying in the side room, waiting for her man
Among a sea of flashing lights
Moving in the shadows, a shape upon the scan
And now they see a brand new life
They're watching, they're waiting on screens
