Player Piano

Wait your turn to speak
You're listening to talk instead of hearing what I need
Oh I'm feeling different now
The weight is off my shoulders but they've run me out of town

Slow down - just take your time
We thank you for your service now please sign the dotted line
But mind my trigger now
My sights are pointed upwards but the barrel's coming down

Friend - don't waste your life
It's smoke and mirror theatre and the company is fine
So here they come marching down the street
Set to a rhythm of a foreign beat
You see it coming - you see it coming
You see it coming but it's never gonna bring you relief

Oh any day - oh any day now
They come and see you when you close your eyes
Any way - oh any way now
'Cause now you know they'll come and get you in the still of the night

I hear them calling from the back of the stage
I hear them calling when I'm turning away
It doesn't matter if you see them again because they will find you
So goes the story for a girl in a robe
When she was young they gave her diamonds and clothes
She sees it coming - sees it coming
Sees it coming but it's never gonna bring her relief

Oh any day - oh any day now
They come and see you when you close your eyes
Any way - oh any way now
'Cause now you know they'll come and get you in the still of the night

And our player piano
Is working just fine
