Just the Other Side of Pain

Those blasted clocks have all run down
Oh, does time stand still without you around
The birds don't sing their little song
The prophecies have all proved wrong

The Persian rugs have gone thread-bare
The waxy moon has lost its flair
The wishes drown beneath the well
The razor blades have all gone dull

But this is confidential you're the one to blame
And now the forecast calls perpetually for rain
And although it's rather late, I lie awake in vain
'Cause I'm still waiting for what's wonderful
Just the other side of pain

Meticulous has run amok
The rabbit’s foot is out of luck
The tightrope walker needs a lift
The contortionists have all gone stiff

But this is confidential you're the one to blame
And now the forecast calls perpetually for rain
And although it's rather late, I lie awake in vain
'Cause I'm still waiting for what's wonderful
Just the other side of pain

Quicksilver slows down into gold
Count St Germain is getting old
Elysian Fields are dead and brown
Your picture’s hanging upside down

But this is confidential you're the one to blame
And now the forecast calls incessantly for rain
And although it's rather late, I lie awake in vain
'Cause I'm still waiting for what's wonderful
Just the other side of pain
