lyrics

I went to launderette
I feed my stuff into the mouth
Of one of the machines
I saw you behind the little windowsaw your face through the porthole

I am in a vacuum
While everyone is rushing by
To offices and hairdressers
I am only killing time
Waiting for the sun to set
Waiting for you to appear
Not in my mind but in the flesh

The humming and the buzzing
Creep into my ears
Making me feel drowsy
Singing me to sleep
Suddenly my heart contracts
At the thought that you might not show up
That you might have forgotten me
While conquering the seas

I saw you behind the little window
I saw your face through the porthole

I am in a vacuum
While everyone is rushing by
To offices and hairdressers
I am only killing time
Waiting for the sun to set
Waiting for you to appear
Not in my mind but in the flesh

I am in a vacuum
While everyone is rushing by
To offices and hairdressers
And I am only killing time
I am only killing time
Waiting for the sun to set
Waiting for you to appear
Not in my mind but in the flesh

I am in a vacuum
While everyone is rushing by
To hospitals and funerals
And I am only killing time
I am only killing time
Waiting for the sun to set
Waiting for you to appear
Not in my mind but in the flesh
I am in a vacuum
While everyone is rushing by
To offices and hairdressers
And I am only killing time
I am only killing time
Waiting for the sun to set
Waiting for you to appear
Not in my mind but in the flesh
I am in a vacuum
While everyone is rushing by
To appointments that cannot be missed
And I am only killing time
I am only killing time
Waiting for the sun to set
Waiting for you to appear
Not in my mind but in the flesh
