tranquiliser

Soft Cell

I m sitting in a room alone
And I m looking at a screen
Staring with the sound turned down
In my adolescent dream

Look into my zombie eyes
There s nothing there to see
A glazed over reflection and it s staring back at me

I could go meet a friend
Just like I ve always done before
But my friends have gone away
And they don t call me any more
I m sitting by a telephone that never seems to ring
And the television full of people
Not saying anything

I m gonna take a tranquiliser
And just another tranquiliser
I lost my mind, I lost my voice
Because I m hypnotised by too much choice

I d do a little shopping
But the shops have all closed down
Now I could be anywhere
In any other town
Look into my zombie eyes
There s nothing there to see
A glazed over reflection
And it s staring back at me

I could go see a movie
But the remakes are a bore
They re re-doing all the 80s
And we ve all been there before

I m gonna take a tranquiliser
And just another tranquiliser
I lost my mind I lost my voice
Because I m hypnotised by too much choice
