Her

"Nothing unusual, nothing strange,
close to nothing at all.
The same old scenario, the same old rain.
And there's no explosions here.
Then something unusual, something strange,
comes from nothing at all.
I saw a spaceship fly by your window..
Did you see it disappear?

____, come sit on my wall.
And read me the story of O.
And tell it like you still believe
that the end of the century
brings a change for you and me.

Nothing unusual, nothing's changed.
-Just a little older that's all
You know when you've found it.
There's something I've learned
'cause you feel it when they take it away.

Something unusual, something strange,
comes from nothing at all.
But I'm not a miracle
and you're not a saint.
Just another soldier
on the road to nowhere

____, come sit on my wall.
And read me the story of O.
And tell it like you still believe
that the end of the century
brings a change for you and me."
