Genesis - Domino Lyrics
In the glow of the nightThe grey of evening fills the room,Theres no need to look outside,To see or feel the rain.Then I reach across to touch her,But I know that shes not there.Rain keeps running down the window pane.Time is running out for me.Cant you see what you are doing to me?Cant you see what you have done?As I try to pass another long and sleepless night,A hundred crazy voices call my name,As I try to pass them by,I almost can believe that she is here,Here in the glow of the night.Do you know what you have done?Do you know what youve begun?Do you see we shall never be together again?All of my life.Lonely people, empty rooms,Pointless violence, silent tombs.Could it be that we shall be together again?Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,Only foreign city sirens can cut through,Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold.But they cant keep out the chilling sounds.Will the nightmare soon give way to dreamingThat she is here with me?Here in the glow of the night.Do you know what you have done?Do you know what youve begun?Do you see we shall never be together again?All of my life.Lonely people, empty rooms,Pointless violence, silent tombs.Could it be that we shall be together again?Could it be that we shall be together again?In silence and darknessWe held each other near that nightWe prayed it would last forever.The last dominoBlood on the windowsMillions of ordinary people are thereThey gaze at the sceneryThey act as if it is perfectly clearTake a look at the mountainsTake a look at the beautiful river of blood.The liquid surrounds meI fight to rise from this river of hellI stare round about meChildren are swimming and playing with boatsTheir features are changingTheir bodies dissolve and I am alone.Now see what youve gone and done.Now see what youve gone and done.Well now you never did see such a terrible thingAs was seen last night on t.v.Maybe if were lucky, they will show it againSuch a terrible thing to see - ohBut theres nothing you can do when youre next in lineYouve got to go domino.Now Im one with the living and Im feeling just fineI know just what I gotta doPlay the game of happiness and never let onThat it only lives on in a song - ohWell theres nothing you can do when youre next in lineYouve got to go domino.Do you know what you have done?Do you know what youve begun?In silence and darknessHold each other near tonightFor will it last forever?Will it last forever - forever...Theres nothing you can do when youre the next in lineYouve got to go domino.Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have doneDo you see what youve begun?Cos theres nothing, nothing, nothingTheres nothing you can do, theres nothing you can doDo you see, do you see what you have done?
