  • Boys, now the times are changing
    The going could get rough
    Boys, would that ever cross your mind?
    Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere?
    Boys, will you ever find the time?

    Here we are stranded
    Somehow it seems the same
    Beware, here comes the quiet life again

    Boys, now the country's only miles away from here
    Boys, do you recognize the signs?
    Boys, when these driving hands push against the tracks
    Boys, it's too late to wonder why

    Here we are stranded
    Somehow it seems the same
    Beware, here comes the quiet life again

    As you turn to leave
    Never looking back
    Will you think of me?
    If you ever, could it ever stop? Writer/s: David Sylvian
