Verse 1

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil

 And a final scene unfolds inside

Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow

 Is a part replayed from a perfect day

Teaching her how to whistle like a boy

Love's first blush

Chorus 1

Is this making sense?

 What am I trying to say?

 Early evening June

 This room and a radio play

 This I need to save

 I choose my final thoughts today

Switching off with you

Verse 2

All the clocks give in

And the traffic fades

And the insects like, like a neon choir

The instant fizz

Connection made

And the curtains sigh

In time

With you

Chorus 2

You, the only sense the world has ever made

Early evening June

This room and a radio play

This I need to save

I choose my final scene today

Switching off

Bridge

Ran to ground, ran to ground

 But I came off, I came off pretty well, I came off pretty well

Ran to ground, ran to ground, for a while there

But I came off pretty well, and I came off pretty well

Ah ah ah ah

(Deep in a rain of sparks behind his brow)

Ah ah ah ah

Chorus 3

You, the only sense the world has ever made

This I need to save

A simple trinket locked away

I choose my final scene today

Switching off with you
