You - are you listening to me?
Is there nothing, nothing,
Nothing that I can say?
Pass the parcel pass by the silence
I'm coming in
'Cos you can walk in a room
Full of people who care
Screaming and shouting
'Til you're blue in the face
But all you will hear
Are the echoes of your words
As they bounce round the room
And are lost without trace
Here it is - a tape recorded voice
Hears the track, plays me back
And there's no choice?
Is there something else I can do
To make it through to you?
As I'm coming in
Everybody wants to get rich quick
So everybody's got to try
Everybody wants to go to heaven and/but
Nobody wants to die
You - are you listening to me?
Is there nothing, nothing,
Something that I can say?
There something else I will do
To make it through to you?
My machine's coming in
My machine's coming in
My machine's coming in
