# Turn back the curtain # There's nothing to see inside # If you want your freedom # It's your free will to hide # I sit there in the corner # Hailing for a ride - # Staring out the window - Owww! # Wishing you could die OTHERS HOWL # We're only waiting # For someone else # We're only waiting # For someone else to blame # Oh, I look in myself, I see nothing that I like # Crowds don't make me happy # Alone, I don't feel right # So I hold back the punches # There's no-one left to fight # Turn to look around you # There's no-one by your side # We're only waiting # For someone else # We're only waiting # For someone else to blame # The weight on your shoulders # Will drag you down # You could try much harder # But I know you won't # But I know you won't # But I know you won't # But I know you won't # Panda.
Are you all right? Yeah! Fine! I mean, relationships just can't stay the same, can they? Can't always be lovely and lush and not full of weird silences all the time.
People can't always be perfect cos that's not real, is it? It's not real, cos things change.
Don't they? Yeah.
They do.
But you can tell me.
If something's up, I can help you.
Everything's great.

Coming! # Happiness hit her # Like a train on a track # Coming towards her # Stuck still no turning back # She hid around corners and she hid under beds # She killed it with kisses and from it she fled # With every bubble she sank with her drink # And washed it away down the kitchen sink # The dog days are over # The dog days are gone # The horses are coming # So you better run # PHONE RINGS Hi, this is Pandora.
