Big Tears

Everyone is busy with the regular routine

The sniper just takes his aim

Everyone is window shopping, no one is amazed

Even if he hit you, you'd still think it's just a graze

You go to a movie, you go to a show

You think that you're living, you don't really know



Big tears mean nothing

You can count them as they fall

Big tears mean nothing

When you're lying in your coffin

Tell me who's been taken in



Oh, you talk about the new boss automatic clause

But of course they make it all up for you

Always fascinated by the weird edge of town

Come home disappointed every time they put you down

Laughing with the old boys, saying that it's all noise



I suppose big tears mean nothing

You can count them as they fall

Big tears mean nothing

When you're lying in your coffin

Tell me who's been taken in



All the buttons of my overcoat

They have fallen off one by one

You wouldn't even like me if you'd never had a drink

You wouldn't even like me if you never stopped to think

Standing in the shadow, turning wives to widows



Don't you know big tears mean nothing

You can count them as they fall

Big tears mean nothing

When you're lying in your coffin

Tell me who's been taken in

Tell me, me or yous been taken in

Tell me, tell me, tell me
