Be Thou My Vision

Miscellaneous
You Are In My Vision
fade to screens of violence
like a TV screen but silent
where the victims are all paid by the hour
staring at the ceiling
that she gyrates all around me
i am trying to forget she's done this all before

far too many people
for a quiet night with myself
oh i could be anyone tonight
focus on a feeling
i've detected while i'm sleeping
sing a chorus of "On Broadway" and deny it all

you are in my vision
i can't turn my face
you are in my vision
i can't move my eyes
you are in my vision
i can't move at all
you are in my vision

delicate bodies
that decay beneath their clothing
play cards in an empty house in Paris
the wreckage of a hero
lies broken in a corner
and everyone pretends they like to live that way

you are in my vision
i can't turn my face
you are in my vision
i can't move my eyes
you are in my vision
i can't move at all
you are in my vision

Gary Numan, "You Are In My Vision", _R_e_p_l_i_c_a_s (Beggars Banquet/ATCO 1979)
