You run when you're called You pretend not to hear Convinient that this saves you coming here You're afraid of us though we've done nothing to you When we call, you go running to Hide in your dark room, in your dark room Hide in your dark room, in your dark room Hide in your dark room, in your dark room Hide in your dark room, in your dark room I can see you where you're hiding I can see you where you're hiding I can see you where you're hiding You seem buried in your ways Now I can see what it is that makes seem as though as if it's here to stay Maybe if I close the door more permanently than before he'll change his ways When all is quiet and asleep, I might just slip away And when they find that I am gone, I wonder what they'll say When all is quiet and asleep, I might just slip away And when they find that I am gone, I wonder what they'll say You run when you're called You pretend not to hear Convinient that this saves you coming here You're afraid of us though we've done nothing to you When we call, you go running to Hide in your dark room, in your dark room Hide in your dark room, in your dark room Hide in your dark room, in your dark room Hide in your dark room, in your dark room It's much better in here when you close the door That's in the dark and out the light It's better than before Things become much clearer when the curtain's closed and lights withdraw Makes things much clearer than before I can see you where you're hiding I can see you See you, though you're not really there Things become much clearer when the curtain's closed and lights withdraw Makes things much clearer than before Will you hear me when I ask you why when you lock the door and hide the key you seem much happier than me?
