The Figurants - Magic Magazines Lyrics

And here we thought we'd found a balanced life
Something new to run away from in peace
But then you found a challenging new light
One so bright that it kept you awake for a week
Now you don't even have the wherewithal
To use "indoor words" at the mall
It's becoming such a bore
Just to talk to you
And through this door
Using code words for food
"You know, it's almost like I'm there"
Some nights the crown feels forty feet tall
Like when I hear her mispronounce your name
When I know how you could have had it all
But you could never stay in the frame
And you don't even have the wherewithal
To use "indoor words" at the mall
It's becoming such a bore
Just to talk to you
And through this door
Using code words for food
There's something more
There's something more
By now the body's washed ashore
I'll bring some more food for you
And watch you chew
"You know, it's almost like I'm really there"
