lyrics

She sits all alone in a room painted white
There’s music that nobody hears
The same song’s been playing for near on a year
She doesn’t get tired of it, loses her mind in it

There are trolleys in hallways; there are whistles and bells
But she doesn’t move from her chair
White coats appearing like ships in the night
But just as quick they disappear

The grocer, the baker, they all tried to shake her
She dives to the depths of despair
So she sits all alone in a room painted white
She’s in there and nobody cares

All that she has is her song; she’s the only one singing along
All that she has is her song; she’s the only one singing along
She hopes for, she gropes for a meaning to it all
But she can’t see the wood for the trees
So she climbs deep inside herself, locks the way out
The lights on but nobody’s home
