Scenes Of Fascination

Don't you know the afternoon has crowded up my room
With the debts of our past regrets that I can't pay off?
Ever wondered how you'd see the same inside of me
In the scenes that I've seen?
(I am alone with one last chance to take you home)

Can't you see just what you do late in the afternoon
With your been-around-town pretension?
Oh, convention
Can't you see this like I do - a fire for our few?
Oh, but you knew your hapless stares could cut right through

You're through with me
It's the same old sentimental
You're through with me
It's the same old sentimental

I knew I couldn't talk to you
I knew I'd never talk to you
Everyday I've played the game
Waiting for the time you'd call my name
I've been waiting here so long
Fascination has come so far
(I've been burning for one last change to catch you)

How'd you know?

Yeah, this is what it is to yearn.
Yeah, this is what it is to burn.
