Everyone is busy with the regular routine
The sniper just takes his aim
Everyone is window shoppingno one is amazed
Even if he hit youyou’d still think it’s just a graze
You go to a movieyou go to a show
You think that you’re livingyou don’t really know
Big tears mean nothing
You can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing
When you’re lying in your coffin
Tell me who’s been taken in
Ohyou talk about the new boss automatic clause
But of course they make it all up for you
Always fascinated by the weird edge of town
Come home disappointed every time they put you down
Laughing with the old boyssaying that it’s all noise
I suppose big tears mean nothing
You can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing
When you’re lying in your coffin
Tell me who’s been taken in
All the buttons of my overcoat
They have fallen off one by one
You wouldn’t even like me if you’d never had a drink
You wouldn’t even like me if you never stopped to think
Standing in the shadowturning wives to widows
Don’t you know big tears mean nothing
You can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing
When you’re lying in your coffin
Tell me who’s been taken in
Tell meme or yous been taken in
Tell metell metell me
